PCI specializes in a signature series that are signed by the founder, J.T. Stanton. PCI&#039;s grading is not as universally recognized as the larger services. The service is trusted for its authentication more than it&#039;s grading. As the name indicates, coins are graded by photo certification. These photos are typically included in the slab along with the grading numbers.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
