<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 820898, member: 15199&quot;]I think it has to do with fighting off CAC basically defining a mid 0.5 grade, judging whether a coin is perhaps ( for example) 64.0, 64.5, 65.0. I think that if CAC graders are saying they can tell the intermediate grades, PCGS feels they can do so even better ( for an extra fee of course). Rainbow stickers ( different color for every 0.1 grade) or print the decimal grade on the label. Think of the money they can make from the regrades of ASE MS69, hoping for a MS69.9.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Also, They have patents for automated coin grading devices, and are associated with a company that claims they can ( using a propriatory device) register light patterns for identification protection ( I would print it out like the encoded postage charges myself).</p><p><br /></p><p>But what ever comes out, I suspect it will cost the consumer more and also benefit PCGS more financially, and reduce the competition.
