It will change how the average duffer collects. To signify those coins
in the top 15% OF THEIR GRADE, is something the really good dealers
and specialists have long done and now, it will be designated for the
mid range collectors to consider. Sure, it will cost more money, but quality
has always cost more money.Now, you will no longer have to guess, you will
know what PCGS thinks about the coin. For the few PLUS coins we have
seen so far, they look dog gone nice to me.
In the long run, the PLUS coins , will have the best rates of return
for the patient collector.Excuse me now, while I finish my glass of
KOOL-AID.

I agree. The finest collections almost have no choice but to Secure Plus their collections.

I think you are wrong - at least in some series.
<< <i>Maybe not...but it might change how I assemble my collection. >>
The new program doesn't include colonials (at least not yet), so if it changes how you assemble your own collection, that would mean going in a new direction?
I think you could narrow it down and say the finest PCGS slabbed collections will be in secure plus holders.
World Collection
British Collection
German States Collection

No...no plans to go in a new direction. I'm just optimistic that the program will include colonials eventually.
I have no idea why people think that PCGS Secure Plus applies to some coin series and not others. But this is not the first time I've read that misconception.
We have never said that. What we have said is that Secure Plus applies to Service Levels. Sevice Levels - like Express and above. Not coin series.
You can send any coin of any series through Secure Plus via the Express Service level. Or via a Reholder for that matter.
I agree. The finest collections almost have no choice but to Secure Plus their collections.
Do you think Eliasberg, Pittman, Norweb, James Stack, and others really could have cared about secure-plusing their collections if auctioned off today? No. They still would have been sold off raw because that would still fetch them more money.

With regards to the comment that the finest collections will be in Secure Plus holders....
I don't think Warren Miller is readying his complete collection of bust dollars by variety for submission to PCGS for Secure Plus holders. Finest collections will always be finest collections regardless of what holders the coins are in.

would recommend ,that they be graded by one of the two top TPGs.

Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......
