Some believe they will be deceptively marketed as Mint issues that might fool a collector.&nbsp; This fear should not be applied to ICG exclusively.&nbsp; It is my understanding that following the lead of ICG and others, PCGS now encapsulates Mr. Carr’s products too!&nbsp; I should think that the issuance of fantasy Proof “49er Horseman $10 gold by PCGS, or slabs with crickets, and coins struck on nails might make a better subject for a discussion claiming to protect collectors...&quot;&nbsp; </span></i></p><p><i><span style="color: #b30000"><br /></span></i></p><p><i><span style="color: #b30000">Images were also posted in the discussion.&nbsp; &nbsp; </span></i>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
