The Offical PCGS Big One™ Announced

I agree this "plus" thing is just trying to take a stab at CAC so to speak. The rest will never work unless they do it to every coin. If they do it to every coin they will hurt their own business as well because I ma sure they make quite a bit on the crack out game and this will eliminate this practice

But if you want the SecurePlus service, the coin will be scanned, and so if someone resubmits it, they will know if the coin has changed from when they previously graded it.

It's difficult, and problem or doctored coins can occasionally slip by.

That's what I was thinking. Surely they have some idea of the number of crack-out resubmissions they get, but maybe not.

This didn't turn out to be any big change that was hyped up for weeks and maybe that's a good thing!

I don't understand why a person wants to be sure a coin they submit doesn't get upgraded sometime down the road for someone else. The theft thing would be a good thing because if the coin was cracked out and resubmitted they would know who submitted it first but would they call each of those people to see if the current owner is supposed to have it?

I have read and re-read the "Big one", in my opinion the system is Not set up for the collector.

I feel this is just another way of being fleeced by the big TPG'S, I have never been a big fan of slabbed coins, while I can see why some people would be.

I think Mr Hall, etal, should be ashamed of them selves for Not thinking of the collectors, who assisted his company in becoming what it is, instead, IMO, the company is trying more and more to "keep up with the Joneses", by that I mean another TPG also announced this "plus service", which to me, like stated earlier, is just another sign of the corporate milking of the collecting public and of course this will come at an extra cost to those seeking this service.

When the "CAC" sticker came out I only saw this as the TPG grading your coin, then another entity would also grade the coin to "be sure it is graded properly", which IMO, is a slap in the face of the 1st grading company, meaning why send our coins to be graded and then "just to be sure" ask for CAC to check it out also?. I would like to see the results of the coins that were submitted for the "CAC" sticker and did not receive it!!

I can only imagine what other services will be coming down the road, I for one will NOT be buying into this "smelly" service, I think you know what I mean.

I do know that their are those who will jump on this service for the extra indication on the slab and to them I would say, feed into the hype and enjoy spending your money! What was/is the purpose for submitting coins for a grade in the first place, to receive a grade and know that coin is authentic, do we really need another code or emblem on the slabs label?
In ending this post I would also like to add that I thought that this company already placed a "star" after a given grade to indicate a better quality grade on top of the already given grade.I could be wrong!!
Be well, just my opinion, Mike....

Submission of the serial numbers to PCGS would have to be accompanied by a police report listing the coins by serial number as being stolen. Yes I realize the hypothetical Alzheimer's patient may still report them as stolen and even report it to the police. Yes it could cause some problems, but I think in most cases it would be determined fairly quickly the coins were not stolen, and if it does also allow coins that have actually been stolen to be recovered I think it would be worth it.
