Oh no! Whatever will they do?!?! They&#039;ll just keep doing what they&#039;ve been doing; making fakes of coins that weren&#039;t submitted by authorized dealers, and selling them to unsuspecting/uneducated buyers because there&#039;s no way to very what coin should be in a PCGS holder, unless the submitter spent more $$$ for the Tru-View or&nbsp; Secure Shield.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now maybe I&#039;m way off base, so how do you see this as beneficial to the average collector?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
