<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1347137, member: 112&quot;]You can read the link Mark posted. But just as an example to answer your question about what the benefits are of Secure Plus.</p><p><br /></p><p>Say you have a nice St. Gaudens, or nice Indian eagle. You submit them to PCGS under the regular tier. And just suppose that some coin doctor has used putty on these coins to fill in hits, hairlines, and/or light scratches. Under the regular tier the graders might easily miss the putty - not even see it. And then grade the coins as 65, 66 or whatever.</p><p><br /></p><p>But - if you had used the Secure Plus tier, that putty that the coin doctor used would have been discovered and the coins returned to you un-slabbed. Then you could return those coins to whoever you bought them from.</p><p><br /></p><p>With the first method you&#039;re stuck with over-graded and puttied coins. And in time, but it may be years, that putty will show up. Of course at that time you can re-submit the coins to PCGS under their guarantee and PCGS will honor the guarantee. But the price difference at that time may not be what it was when you first submitted the coins. Of course it might be more too. You just don&#039;t know.</p><p><br /></p><p>With the second method, the doctoring is discovered right off the batt, you return the coins and get your money back. And can then look for other coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>That&#039;s a pretty big advantage.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
