Looks like another revenue enhancing scheme from the biggest TPG,note I didn't say best. Fifty bucks and you have to be a member. In my not so humble opinion, PCGS is all over the road map these days. Some of the world and Canadian grading I have seen lately is shall we say questionable, and rather optimistic. To be quite honest I have been pleasantly surprised at how all of a sudden ANACS has become quite realistic and conservative. Recently submitted a bunch of Canadian coins to them and they were pretty much bang on with ICCS . Sent a bunch of World I acquired in England earlier this year to NGC and much the same story. Very tightly and properly graded.
Hopefully the gang at PCGS can find a few people out of the contest and refund their fifty and hire them as graders, coin graders that is.

I've been thinking about flying out to the Long Beach Expo and go to this show in June. It comes along the last couple days of school, but I'll miss them if I have too. That is, if my dad says "yes, we can fly out there for a week or so"

LOL...


I'll be 16 1/2 by then, think they'll still let me in free?

Not even sure where that is. I'm in the mid West. If someone would pay my plane fare, I'd go.
