Even if they continue to slab dipped coins, the future market for slabbed dipped coins vs. those that are slabbed and determined not to have been dipped could define a huge price gap between coins of the same grade and similar <i>apparent</i> condition.</span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000"><br /></span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000">Again, a rather strong absolute assumption for the future market based on the present and past market acceptance. With the development of newer detection capabilities there may be categories coming that will work against this statement within the slabbed coin collector base.</span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000"><br /></span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000">&nbsp;</span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000">Currently, yes, but again, not necessarily will they necessarily continue to grade dipped coins should they change their stance on this or if the market begins to favor graded coins that can clearly be shown to have never been dipped and collectors direct attention on that guaranty instead.</span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000"><br /></span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000">I remain open to the possibility that an industry leader in coin certification and authentification such as PCGS has the business sense and self-preservation to improve their services and to define their corner of the market to remain competitive, in authority and in a leadership position by enacting new dimensionality to their market. If they have the ability to segment the types and qualities of the coins they certify, and thus create an entirely new segment that ensures collectors that coins have never been dipped, remain original and back it with the TPG guaranty then that change can affect collector behavior and financial consideration, whereby once market acceptably dipped coins become no longer quite as acceptable nor allowed in future submissions for slabbing. </span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000"><br /></span></p><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
