If it is the case that ICCS is for sale, Louis from CCCS should just buy them out.

Believe me, Louis's shoes have lots of mud as well, but at least he's on the internet, is trackable and they use hard slabs. I don't have a certified coin in my whole collection, but have a few LC's that came as part of lots that I bought for the raw ones. For me, I would never even think of certing anything, regardless the value of the coin.

I agree with oakie, when I pick up a coin.. I automatically remove it from it's holder.

ICCS will likely survive as a third tier grading company...(PCGS, NGC = 1st tier; ICG, ANACS, CCCS = 2nd tier; NNC, PCI, SEGS, ICCS = 3rd tier)

I still think ICCS is fine for $10-$500 coins...all valuable coins over $500 will drift into other holders...

and whatever valuable coins in ICCS flips are left, are the cleaned, scratched, damaged coins that are rejected by all other respectable TPGs...

and these will be the coins that dealers will play "hot potato" with...hoping to unload them on unsuspecting customers, young and old...

Heritage Auctions, Stacks&Bowers, Spink...will all refuse to sell coins in ICCS slabs...

although some of this is already happening, it will accelerate over the next 5-10 years...IMO

That's fine and dandy..but how do you protect the "bright and shinies"..?

..and..
You leave a huge problem for anyone left in the family if "heaven forbid" something terrible happens to you..
