I got an email this morning that said PCGS is going digital. Did anybody have any info on this ahead of time? And what (exactly) does that mean? Obviously we still have to send our coins to them - or do we?

It means they are going to grade jpg and png images too. It makes it a lot simpler for them, since every image is PF70.

Putting a CAC sticker on the file is going to be the difficult part.

That's what I'm afraid of. BTW, are you serious?

Coop can start selling MS70 Photoshop actions!

BStrauss3 is having a lend of you Mate

All this "Going Digital" means is that instead of PCGS posting Hard copies of the submission forms, free submissions certs and the rest of the paraphernalia that accompanies a new or renewed membership, They will simply send an email that contains these documents instead

However the Platinum level members will still have to get their T shirts via the normal mail :)

Soon they will send their shirts via 3-D printers (with some size exceptions)
