Conflict of interest is inherent in all businesses. No argument. And there are potential hidden conflicts of interest in all the major grading...
Thanks for the post and commentary. First, allow me to clarify that Rick Snow does not work for DGS. He is a "signature series" grader along...
Thanks -- all good suggestions. Right now we're more focused on grading quality than updating the slab. It's just not cost-effective at the...
Our certification rates are really reasonable and we've just instituted a new fee structure based on the coin's value. Each coin on the submission...
I appreciate the suggestion (of changing the holder) but I acquired PCI solely for the holder design as I think it is one of the best in the...
Thanks for the positive feedback. We are very concerned with making sure our grading is very accurate because we make a two-way market in the...
Spock- Thanks for the welcome. I would LOVE to do more business overseas. If the European market gets more active numismatically (which is the...

The is a great post, and very factual overall. I did buy the assets of PCI last February and decided quickly that the reputation could not be...
Best to send sample slab requests directly to: service@dominiongrading.com Thomas Scott will gladly assist you in a timely manner.
Who on this board has a direct contact with the right folks at eBay? We rarely auction items on ebay anymore, so I dont have a good contact. Plus,...
Definitely NOT the same old company. The only similarity between the PCI and DGS is the plastic shell. We don't share a single common employee,...
I don't think that we have added value to the consumer if we don't grade a coin. Also, I don't think that everyone in the coin hobby necessarily...
i haven't check the Dominion request queue since Monday but we'll get sample requests out early this week. Glad you like them (for those of you...
Photograde on circs. The school of hard knocks on mint state. I've been going to coin shows since I was 5 years old. The standards have definitely...
Grading mint state coins comes from years of experience buying and selling high grade coinage. There's really no way to describe the process in a...
