FYI, I saw my first PCGS + coin on Collector's Corner today. It was an 1873 Seated Dollar from Legend's new group. Coin is graded MS-65+ and looks like a monster.

I'd crack it open and resubmit...you could get a + for that coin

from PCGS Website......................
<< <i>Now get a CAC Sticker!
It's already had one
according to what HRH stated, there are anti-counterfiet elements built into the shield so i wouldn't expect any China fakes.

I wish PCGS well but I'm not familiar with anything like this that can't be counterfeited....all you can do it make it harder...--Jerry

I still think the PCGS + coins will sell better, and for more money, with the CAC sticker. With matching SecurePlus and Gold CAC sticker, the coin should garner moon money.

<< <i>Now that PCGS extended their ID code, there is no room for CAC stickers without covering some digits. Maybe that was the plan all along.

If there is a + coin with a gold sticker, someone got it wrong.

I saw the coin zine that I received today- did anyone take a gander at the new + pricing on these particular coins in the price guide?
Did anyone notice a 'slight' increase of these particular coins in the grade they were in before the new/re-holder of the same coins?
Are we to believe that this 'Big One' will actually resolve what many have said in the past about grading being an opinion?
Scanning/ lasering a coin to potentially stop a fraudulent act of the item is good- if it can actually be proven through scientific findings, but to be honest, this duck is not quacking like all other ducks do.
Something is amiss and many here might get into the same hype as they did about CAC when it first evolved.
remember there is no guarantee now on copper- how will that fair for the new standard that is about to be set?
just an average collector noticing strange financial things.

There will be many collectors who will expect a "+" on the grade before they will pay a PQ price for a coin.
Collector to dealer---"If that coin is PQ, why isn't there a plus on the grade?"

I agree with you. But there will be many others who will pay a PQ price for a great looking coin, regardless of whether it has a plus designation or not. And that means things will probably be very much like they have been.
