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
