  << <i>I noticed that PCGS now offers Secure + grading on Economy and Modern coins (for an additional fee). Do coins submitted for Economy/Modern PCGS Secure + services come back in Secure + holders? >>
  
  
  
  All service levels are now available for secure plus grading.
  
  Yes, they come back in secure plus holders.
  
  
  
  
  << <i>Does PCGS use the sniffer on these coins? >>
  
  
  
  
  All signs point to yes.
  
  
  
  
  << <i> I have read that PCGS does not offer ms69+ grading. Are there other Restrictions? Anybody out there have experience with these services? >>
  
  
  
  plus can be had on grades 40 thru 68, excluding grades 60 and 61
  
  
  
  
  part of the plus is eye appeal. a high for the grade coin with eye appeal gets the plus, otherwise you're not getting a plus.

  Apparently PCGS doesn't even do plus grading on many types of coins, especially moderns. I submitted 50 1994-P matte proof Jefferson nickels not too long ago. I got back many in SP68FS and many in SP69FS... not a single SP68+FS. When I asked about it I was told they don't do plus grading on those since it wouldn't make much of a difference... I didn't think that sounded right, but whatever. Wish I knew that before I submitted the coins as I'm sure some of my 68s might really be 68+ coins.
  
  I know the grade of 69+ isn't used on any coins right now.
