    Anyone can acquire holders. They're a dime a dozen. One of my dealers has a large box full of slabs.

    Just an observation, but all these people who crack out coins from a TPG slab and re-submit the coin hoping for a higher grade, usually done because they're disappointed in the grade their coin(s) received the first time through, should get a job with a TPG as an expert grader.

    Don Willis - "Coins that are in Secure Plus holders are no more "locked into their grade" than coins in a regular holder."

    Don Willis - "if you submit your PCGS coin as a Regrade under any service, you are guaranteed that the grade will not go down. Under Secure Plus you could get a higher grade, a +, or the same grade you started with. I have seen coins regraded through Secure Plus that upgraded to a +; that upgraded a full point; and that upgraded a full point plus the +."
    (bold is mine)


    Don Willis: "The most important point of the Secure part of our product is simply that we will always know the history of the coin. It doesn't mean we will never change the grade."


    Don Willis: "PCGS Secure Plus does not lock in the grade of your coin forever. What is does is tell us what your coin has graded in the past. That way we can make a more informed decision. Do we ever make mistakes? Yes. Will we ever change a Secure Plus grade? Yes."

    You mean they pay their employees jack, treat 'em like crap, and treat their customers just as worse, but in echange, have the lowest prices?

    They're definitely not the Wal-Mart of Numismatics.

    Does anyone have a complete collection of third-party slabs?

    Something new for coin shows.

    :)

    These "Third World" self slabbers are like bail bondsmen in the Yellow Pages, all jockeying to be first.

    My reference set is not complete, there are still companies I do not have examples from. Mostly fiy-by-nights that came and went before I could get an example. And there are still a fair number of companies that I do have that have holder varieties not in my reference set.

    I probably have examples of some 125 or so companies, and I list around 152 companies.

    I must admit I am impressed with his list, I see several there that I don't know of, but I have several that are not on his list.

    Not to be too off topic here --- but you also need to remember having the scanned coin will help population reports, also.
