<p>[QUOTE="Tin_Man_0, post: 3594426, member: 100189"]Actually, it's Collectors Universe that has been doing it for years now, but we'll keep the focus on just coins for now. PCGS Adding services like TrueViews and international expansions bought them some time in those markets, but those are different branches. About the only latest trend I've noticed that PCGS US coin grading has come up with is the whole new sticker trend with "first strike" and "signature" and so forth and so on. This in theory could get some collectors to regrade, but it's probably not helping much. Even with those added branches, that doesn't mean there's always going to be more and more coins to grade at the rate they grade them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
