    Thank you Mr Hall for taking your time to provide such an opportunity. Looks like you've logged off now, but I'll throw out a question any way:

    Do you forsee a time when the premium for toned coins is substantially lower because of what appears to be an ever-increasing supply?

    And one more vote for TruView, even if its more money.

    Thanks!

    Mr. Hall, thanks for the forum - it's a useful place, and it has re-kindled my interest in coins. You are pretty classy to spend time answering questions from ordinary collectors for the evening.

    Moki said: Do you forsee a time when the premium for toned coins is substantially lower because of what appears to be an ever-increasing supply?

    I would add to his question, is there any point in directing resources toward developing diagnostics which distinguish between fake toning and the real thing? Or is this just semantics?

    See ya next time! jmski

    In the seated series I see many coins PCGS has seemed to have "net graded" these being mostly the ultra rare CC's. On coins like the 43 O dime where there but a handful graded in all grades would this also apply?

    I have a new one in now for grading (along with one of 4 known 1839 Pie shapped error coins). The best have have been able to make is a VF30.

    This may have been asked but as long as you are working on the price guide why is there a jump from fine to xf?

    HRH:

    Could you let us know in advance when you will pop in next week?

    By the way, while you work on the price list could you put in a dash (---) for the MS-66 grade of the Liberty $20 type II section shown under the TYPE COIN CATEGORY called:

    <<<Gold Type Coins - Regular Stikes>>>

    There are no MS-66 graded by PCGS for the entire type II so having the price listed of $150,000 would be misleading?

    Also note the typo for the word intended as "........ Strikes."

    Best regards,

    Might have to try again next week... I've just gotten in from work and missed the Q&A session.

    I appreciate your taking time to answer our questions by the way.

    I noted on my survey I emailed in, that I thought that error grading was a little to over priced. I have to send any modern errors I get into another company just because the plastic would be worth as much or more than the coin in many instances. Do you think PCGS will ever offer a lower priced tier for modern errors (such as off-center Lincoln's etc...)?


    Thanks again for your time. image

    << <i>Shamika and Lick those Stamps,


    There's a new grading service in town...not the the first, won't be the last. There are a lot of grading services.

    They compete with PCGS. This is our message board...and our traffic is huge...and our website is a very large part of the coin market. We give a pretty free hand to discussions about coin related stuff.

    However, we don't like it when people use our website to rag our us to our audience, i.e. our customers. Also...we are not going to let people promote competing grading services on our website. If Mark Salzburg (owner of NGC)...who I've known for decades, respect, and talk to frequently...or his brother-in-law, or next door neighbor...or some of his partners, i.e. co-owners of his business...came on our website and started a disussion about NGC or what they are doing...we'd nuke the thread.

    If you want to promote other grading services...go somewhere else.

    hrh

    Edited for errors...the questions are coming first. Please have some patience...I'll be here most of the day and I'll try to get to all the questions. Thanks. >>

    David, I really do appreciate your personal interest taken in the goings-on with PCGS. It's refreshing and not a little bit flattering to have you personally spend time on our concerns.

    In the past, I'd noticed a (relative infrequent, to be sure) situation where some coins developed a fingerprint after slabbing. I attribute this to human error, nothing more; and I understand graders/slabbers don't wear gloves in handling coins - but I wonder if, as part of the slabbing process, a simple sheet of polyethelene, etc. could be placed between the coin and the hands when fitting them into their retaining rings.

    Thanks!

    << <i>Andy (Mr. Eureka),

    we are about to announce policy guidelines for all spot issues...

    milk spots on ASEs

    copper spots on gold

    White spots on 1950-1964 silver proofs

    carbon spots on Lincolns and Indian cents

    Basically, spots are an eye appeal negative and grading points should be deducted. Our official guidelines to this somewhat complex issue will be coming soon

    Thanks,

    David >>



    Please tell me that you will not deduct points for attractive copper toning on gold coins. Although that would make the nicer ones more affordable for me. image

    << <i>Utah coin,

    We have a record of every coin we've ever graded, and for most of those coins, who graded the coins and what their grades were. We do not make the individual grader info public. that would cause problems and confusion.


    Haven't found out about the toned dollar yet...but I'll talk to the graders this week.

    Thanks,

    Was this toned dollar thing ever investigated to a conclusion?
