<p>[QUOTE=&quot;imrich, post: 24609626, member: 22331&quot;]I personally have avoided for some time, submission to NGC and PCGS, especially after having coins that were graded/slabbed come back having a Details label, being resubmitted to receive a grade greater than the original.</p><p><br /></p><p>These firms haven&#039;t a consistent standard, as I&#039;ve posted showing MS66 coins that don&#039;t meet the 1977 published A.N.A. standard for a MS coin, hardly general consistency with each other.</p><p><br /></p><p>CAC/J.A. Et Al have been criticized for their &quot;Beaning&quot; because they have approved relative to average of the deteriorative TPG standards.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve collected strictly based relatively to the 1977 A.N.A. published standard, and hope that CAC will do likewise, increasing the grades of many &quot;sight-seen&quot;/purchased coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t believe CAC will grade relative to a &quot;Bean&quot; that was given&nbsp; upon varying/deteriorating TPG standards.</p><p><br /></p><p>I will start slow with coins that obviously approach the 1977 standard, relatively to currently higher grades.</p><p><br /></p><p>CACed coins currently receive greater pricing than either plain TPG graded coins, and I don&#039;t see why that would change, especially based on a holder design.</p><p><br /></p><p>If I were responsible for a new practical design that would</p><p>outperform those currently in existence, it would be a labyrinthian holder &quot;shrink-wrapped&quot; inside a formed Stainless rectangular shape, encapsulated in an inert atmosphere.</p><p><br /></p><p>If the holder is adequate for retaining/protecting food products, why not coins?</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ll store my coins with the MREs!</p><p><br /></p><p>LOL, being more concerned about the holder design than function, relative to the current impractical long term protection, is seemly ludicrous!</p><p><br /></p><p>JMHO[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
