We'll let the market decide
There's an item on page 5 of CoinWorld 6/23/08
about PCGS' new"Genuine Slab" for problem coins. They will consider authenticating certain damaged coins but they won't net grade them: "Some people value damage differently" "We'll let the market decide." --Ron Guth If markets can put a value on damaged coins without a grade from TPGs then shouldn't that market be able to value any coin without their grading opinions? ************************************************* "Paper [money] is a mortgage on wealth that does not exist, backed by a gun aimed at those who are expected to produce it."--Francisco d' Anconia Atlas Shrugged--Ayn Rand ************************************************* |

I collect just one series of coins, comprising just ten coins, in PCGS slabs. I own one that they rejected as having been cleaned (I am sure that a couple of the others that I already own have also been cleaned) and would like to have that one slabbed to match the others. Trouble is, it cost me $30 for their "cleaned" opinion, but now it will cost me $100 for their "genuine" opinion. No, thanks. James |

James Think of it as upauthenticating your coins. ************************************************* "Paper [money] is a mortgage on wealth that does not exist, backed by a gun aimed at those who are expected to produce it."--Francisco d' Anconia Atlas Shrugged--Ayn Rand ************************************************* |
