What if PCGS started using the " plus " holographic stickers for rattlers and OGH slabs?

It would save these classic holders from being cracked out.

It would also run counter to their long standing policy of examining coins out of their holders, when evaluating them for purposes of a re-grade.

The grading of a holdered coin's "third side" would be a impossible.

Only the esteemed CAC is capable of doing that.

Plus stickers would also stimulate hell a lot of new submissons for PCGS.
I really don't want to kill my rattlers or OGHs for the plus. It is tempting on a few of the retro holdered coins that I own.
Some things have to be given up to change, going with the auto fuel deal you don't have lead in it any more.

No laser mapping only the plus designation for rattlers and OGHs. The hologram is for the "Plus" only...no shield sticker allowed.

I say only PCGS retros get the PCGS "plus" sticker. NGC has their own gig and their own side of the street.

PCGS has been known to change their long standing policies when it comes to grading.

You think thats funny, should have seen it before I edited it collage boy.
I think the deal is the Secure + grading is a grading process where the laser fingerprint and grade review are tied together you're not getting one without the other.
Thus you’re going to lose the old holder.
And remember that your rattlers were discontinued for a reason. Part of the service is to fight that problem.

Has CAC claimed that they base their sticker/no sticker decision at least partially on the grading of a coin's edge?

There is no way CAC can do that, even with NCG "edgeview".

Agree. The edge is the third side of the coin and needs to be evaluated when grading any coin.

He was referring to the plus only part which doesn't require a scan.

All collectors and dealers are pretty much resigned to have to make a decision about a coin while it is in the holder so why should PCGS be exempt given that they already have had the opportunity to see the coin raw at least once. Just sayin.

PCGS has already seen the edge once, so we can assume it must have passed muster the first time.

That was done on purpose, right?
