If it is he didn't make it clear. Or at least it wasn't clear to me. Seems like it could rapidly develop into now being able to say anything...
Did they do one? I've seen almost no advertising for the program other than in the numismatic publications.
With the no numerical grade rule they don't have to know anything about coins. Look at the image, is it is an approved slab? (I'm sure they have...
