Is this the ICCS version of +grading? "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Report this Post to the Staff

jg86 Pillar of the Community Canada 686 Posts	Posted 11/01/2013 9:54 pm I believe it's basically a letter from Brian with a detailed breakdown of the grade (details on strike, eye appeal, surfaces, lustre, etc). View it as the long-form birth certificate of an ICCS graded coin. Report this Post to the Staff

doubleeagle59 Pillar of the Community Canada 2495 Posts	Posted 11/01/2013 10:39 pm I've seen a few +20K coins that have this 'executive cert'. It doesn't make any difference to me if a coin has one or not. I think they're quite expensive to have ICCS do one. Report this Post to the Staff

jg86 Pillar of the Community Canada 686 Posts	Posted 11/01/2013 11:42 pm I've never seen an executive cert, but I believe it's basically a piece of paper that accompanies the ICCS coin in the "cheap flimsy plastic holder". It would say "In regards to ICCS cert number AA 001..." I don't know why anyone would want one. It's a thorough professional opinion, but I fail to see the value it adds. It might be nice if selling a coin based on description alone, but any of the coins that have one aren't going to be coins you would ever buy sight unseen. Report this Post to the Staff
