Truth about PCGS Holders
I'm laughing so hard I may loose control of my bodily functions, Good one.
Honest Coindealer wrote: Subject: PCGS Holders From: (Luvsblkcat) Date: 6/29/03 8:48 PM Eastern Daylight Time Message-id: Are PCGS holders absolutely safe for long term storage of 20 or more years or is the ICG holder better? I've known aging tests to have shown that PCGS holders TRASH coins, due to PVC damage, resulting in hazing, etc. Just do a google search or check out the threads on http://forums.collectors.com Unless you want your coins TRASHED AND WORTHLESS 10 years from now, in the long run it is best to have them graded and authenticated by ACG, not PCGS. Check out http://www.asa-accugrade.com/coins.htm and http://mediausa.net/acgpackaging/ Note also that PCGS provides and encourages you to submit your coins in holders cointaining PVC, which has lead to MANY PEOPLE HAVING THEIR COINS TRASHED **DURING** the submission process (see http://forums.collectors.com/), sometimes PCGS even provides a fingerprint on your coin so that it will acquire interesting looking PVC damage, down the road after the submission process! Whereas, ACG states to "Ship all coins in Non-PVC RIGID FLIPS " when submitting. (see http://mediausa.net/acgpackaging/pdf...nse_submit.pdf ) Remember at the Charlotte hearing, it was brought out that PVC damaged coins have been found in both ACG and PCGS holders, but that only PCGS holders and PCGS submission policies are likely to trash your coins this way - only PCGS encourages submission in PVC holders! (reference above) That's one of the reasons ACG had to withdraw from the sham organization that the ANA has become. |

Didn't come with the kit I got from PCGS, and never saw any at the PCGS table at major coin shows. -- Coin Collecting: Consumer Guide: http://rg.ancients.info/guide Bogos: Counterfeit Coins: http://rg.ancients.info/bogos Glomming: Coin Connoisseurship: http://rg.ancients.info/glom |
