<p>[QUOTE=&quot;brg5658, post: 1442540, member: 29751&quot;]Lance, you are correct that it was March 2010 (March 25th to be exact), but according to PCGS&#039;s own website, the announcement was a joint announcement by PCGS and NGC:&nbsp; <a href="http://www.pcgs.com/Articles/Detail/6140" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.pcgs.com/Articles/Detail/6140" rel="nofollow">http://www.pcgs.com/Articles/Detail/6140</a>&nbsp; PCGS started actually putting the &quot;+&quot; on the slabs before NGC, but I would not classify a 60 day lag by NGC as PCGS being &quot;well before&quot; them.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m also not a huge fan of prong holders.&nbsp; On coins the size of a cent or smaller it makes good images almost an impossibility.&nbsp; I know you have a personal story about a large cent from NGC, but all in all I much prefer NGC&#039;s holder to that of PCGS.&nbsp; Besides that it actually looks professional, I think a lot more research has gone into theirs (alla Smithsonian contracts).&nbsp; I wish they would both settle on a prong holder that only took up the real-estate of the NGC prongs, but that was transparent to avoid covering up possible rim issues.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
