PCGS does not want to be known for slabbing just any problem coin (like ANACS) but they will accomodate those that need their rare - but problem - coins authenticated.  Keep in mind the bulk of those paying PCGS $100 to authenticate (not grade) a coin will likely be needing the coin for their PCGS Registry Sets.  I can see a guy spending $100 to have his scratched Gobrecht Dollar authenticated so he can complete his Silver Dollar Type Set Registry Set. What if you found an 1894-S Barber dime while metal detecting but it was scratched. Think it would be worth $100 to have PCGS authenticate it? (I do.)[/QUOTE]
