I BELEIVE SOME PEOPLE ARE MISREADING THE IDEA BEHIND THIS NEW HOLDER- IT'S A BLESSING THEY ARE DOING THIS FOR US! FIND THE GOOD IN THE SITUATION, INSTEAD OF SEEKING OUT THE BAD, LIFE IS JUST EASIER THIS WAY, LESS STRESS EQAULS LONGER LIFE!!

FIRST OFF. THEY ARE NOT ASSIGNING A NUMERIC GRADE TO PROBLEM COINS, THEY ARE ADDING A DETAILS GRADE: FOR EXAMPLE IF THE COIN WOULD GRADE AN XF40 IF THERE WASN'T ANY SURFACE ISSUES, THEY ARE CALLING IT AN XF ONLY, NO NUMERIC GRADE OF 45! AND TO SAY YOU ARE GOING TO PCGS FOR THIS IS SILLY. PCGS DOES THIS ALSO THEY MARK THEM AS "AUTHENTIC" WITH NO DETAILS GRADE AND IF I AM CORRECT THEY DONT ALLOW YOU TO ADD IT TO YOUR REGISTRY SET ON THEIR WEBSITE.

JUST THINK ABOUT IT FOR A SECOND, SAY YOU HAVE A 1893 MORGAN DOLLAR THAT HAS BEEN CLEANED, UNDER NGC'S OLD POLICY YOUR COIN WOULD BE RETURNED AS UNGRADEABLE(BODY BAGGED) AND YOU WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO ADD IT TO YOUR REGISTRY SET- RESULTING IN NO POINTS FOR YOUR SUPER RARE COIN. UNDER THEIR NEW POLICY NOT ONLY DO YOU PROTECT YOUR COIN FROM FUTHER DAMAGE, YOU GET TO ADD IT TO YOUR REGISTRY SET, AND ON TOP OF THAT, YOU GET HALF THE POINTS FOR A GRADEABLE COIN. NOT TO MENTION YOU DONT FEEL ROBBED SINCE YOU PAID TO HAVE IT GRADED AND SLABBED, YOU NOW GET IT AUTHENTICATED, WITH A DETAILS GRADE, AND GET IT SLABBED, HENCE GETTING SOMETHING FOR YOUR MONEY INSTEAD OF A $.10 COIN FLIP!!

JUST MAKES SENCE TO ME!? TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS ISSUE DOESN'T SEEM TO MAKE ANY SENCE AT ALL. HOW MANY TIMES HAVE YOU HAD A COIN SENT BACK TO YOU AS UNGRADEABLE? AND WISHED THEY WOULD HAVE AT LEAST JUST PUT IT IN A SLAB?

ANOTHER GOOD THING ABOUT THEM DOING THIS IS AT LEAST MOST OF THESE WILL BE SOLD IN THEIR HOLDER INSTEAD OF THE SELLERS WHO RELIST AN UNGRADEABLE COIN AS A GRADEABLE COIN JUST FOR SOMEONE ELSE TO BUY IT THINKING THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO GET IT GRADED. A BIT OF INSURANCE FOR THE BUYER!!

THANKS NGC FOR OFFERING THIS NEW SERVICE TO US, MOST OF US WILL BE WELCOMING IT WITH OPEN ARMS, AND WOULD LOVE FOR YOU TO SLAB OUR PROBLEM COINS, WITH A GENERIC DETAILS GRADE! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. THOSE WHO DON'T LIKE THE IDEA OF THIS NEW SERVICE, PCGS WOULD LOVE TO HAVE YOUR BUSINESS, AND WOULD LOVE TO UNDERGRADE YOUR COINS FOR MORE MONEY, AND LONGER TURN AROUNDS THAN NGC. ENJOY YOUR GRADING SERVICE, WHATEVER YOU CHOOSE!!
