<p>[QUOTE="mrweaseluv, post: 1578965, member: 40340"]I have to agree with both Marketing and bragging rights. As for the marketing part it works very well. In my own case I had by chance some very nice pcgs slabbed 1962s (gotten in a slab grab bag cheap) not a full proof/unc set but a start on one. After registering them as part of getting my "Free" ATB quarter I found that 2 of my coins were very close to being top rated. This cause me to decided to finish off the uncirculated set if only for those bragging rights mentioned above (my 62 set is presently rated 22nd and that is without the Halves that will be added shortly after xmas to finish the set. I might break down and crack one of my 62 mint sets (I have 3 p/d unc sets at moment) as they have very nice halves and have them pcgs slabbed as it would be considerably cheaper then buying the higher quality halves already slabbed (62s NOT cheap in higher grades lol). Either way I go their "marketing ploy" has already worked in getting me to buy the slabbed nickels for the set that i previously had no intention of doing. As for have a "rated" set that high in the standings, I can honestly say nothing feels better then being able to point it out to my "big" brother, who has been collecting for over 40 years, and give him that old ne ner ne ner ne ner lol.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
