[QUOTE="GoldFinger1969, post: 3737052, member: 73489"][I]Which prices ? Lots of stuff appreciates, it's the modern and memorabilia junk that keeps sinking. [/I] That was a bubble that I don't think most collectors believe is relevant. If anything, it teaches novices and experts to know what you are buying and be wary of paying rapidly inflated prices over face value for bills and coins. I wouldn't mind computerization taking over the grading of modern coins and bills, the technology is there right now. Save the human grading for the older stuff where you want an expert pair of eyes to spend more than 20 seconds on a $15,000 Saint-Gaudens. [I]Do we know WHY PCGS left bill grading ?[/I] Unlike NGC/PMG, PCGS is publicly traded. They may not have been making a decent return on their investment. They may find they can earn better returns investing in coin grading. I'll do some sleuthing of the 10-K's and report back.[/quote][/QUOTE]
