  I suppose that some do, tho I never would unless it was sight seen.

  If there is a nice coin in it, sure.

  Here is the last one I bought, about two weeks ago. The consensus is that it's a 66. Had it been a 3 point overgrade, I would have been happy with that too, given what I paid for it.

  By no means are they automatically ruled out. I just picked up a MS 64 RED 1997 DDO Lincoln MS 64 gold label,,it went 65 RED at PCGS.

  I bet Ron Guth is writhing in agony that someone would send a first rate coin to a third rate TPG, in this case PCI.

  never bought a pci coin. this might be due to I not getting the chance
  to see them in hand and an overall distrust for the company via the
  pictures i have seen online for coins at auction/on sale.

  I suspect that nearly all PCI graded gold, especially those in the green holders, have been cracked out and crossed over to PCGS or NGC. I actually only know of one PCI Green gold coin. A friend of mine has owned it since the early 90's. It is very conservatively graded.

  All glory is fleeting.

  Depends. How do they look? How are they priced?

  Always look at the coin first and not just the plastic. I have seen some very nice properly graded buffalo nickels in the pci gold coffins, and there are more out there. BUFFNIXX

  Interesting... I know an individual who also purchased a MS64RD 1997 DDO Lincoln in a PCI gold label slab and it went MS66RD at PCGS.

  Some nice coins can be found in PCI slabs.

  If it looks good for the asking price and I have a return privilege (or if I can inspect it before buying), sure -- why not?
