Are you asking if the CompuGrade slab will be worth anything in the future ? Doubtful.

Are you selling a Compugrade slabbed coin ? I think a little more info is needed as I think the CompuGrade slab doesn't add anything to the value of whatever coin it is.

Guess nobody is interested.

CompuGrade was a short lived service that was going to revolutionize TPG and grading by using a computer. It didn't work so supposedly they did it by hand for their short life. The slabs themselves are collectable by a small group (the "Buy the Slab not the Coin" people). Most of them were broken out during the 1st wave of great grade inflation, so my overgraded by 2 points MS62.9 of the 1982s is probably today's legit MS62.

I think it's more that nobody understood more than that nobody was interested.

Exactly ! How you can be interested in something that's impossible to understand.

I think he has 2 Compugrade slabbed coins that he considers are overgraded ... more than that and what's the question, no idea.

@BStrauss3, Now you're going to have to post pictures of this "MS60.9?" coin you have in a MS62.9 CompuGrade slab.
