Plus grades will be designated for grades EF45 thru MS/PR68, with the exception of MS/PR60 and 61. We estimate that about 15 to 20% of the coins in a particular grade will be plus grade coins.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The new PCGS Secure Plus service also features laser coin identification. Complete details of the PCGS Secure Plus service are now posted on the PCGS home page <a href="http://www.pcgs.com" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.pcgs.com" rel="nofollow">www.pcgs.com</a>.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The additional plus grade designation will change a lot of things. The PCGS Price Guide is now listing prices for the plus grade coins. The PCGS Population report will report Plus grade populations. As for the PCGS Set Registry, plus grades will now be accepted and recognized as “in-between” grades in terms of weighting. Coins receiving a plus grade will be calculated .5 points higher.&nbsp; In other words, if your coin grades 65+, it will calculate as 65.5 in the Registry.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>In the words of PCGS founder David Hall, “It’s a marketplace reality that there are high end examples of various grades. Sophisticated collectors and dealers have recognized this for decades and high end coins have almost always traded at premium prices. Plus grading of high end coins mere formalizes this marketplace reality. For the Set Registry plus grading recognizes and rewards the nicest coins.”[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
