<p>[QUOTE="Doug Wheeler, post: 2120775, member: 73820"]I'm surprised that PCGS and NGC haven't started a "second opinion" service to evaluate previously-slabbed coins and essentially confirm the original grade. For this to work, it would have to be cheaper than a full grading, and it would have to be very clear that this may not be quite as accurate since the coins are being evaluated through an existing slab. They could also maintain a database of their "yea" or "nay" and associate it with the original TPG's serial number so a coin buyer could check to see if a coin has been "nay'ed" (since they, presumably, won't put a "nay" sticker on a slab).</p><p><br /></p><p>I think this would provide the extra level of comfort that many people are relying on the CAC sticker for, without the extra meaning that CAC is trying to impart.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
