<p>[QUOTE="Vertigo, post: 9378315, member: 118430"]I just wonder what JA would think if one of his three world class graders opened up a box of coins and inside were 30+ cleaned lowball Columbian exposition halves. In all his podcasts he talks about he's opening the grading service so people can "one stop shop" essentially. Instead of sending coins to pcgs then to cac. Paying all the shipping. He's not even advising people to cross their coins to his holder. And is designing the registry to even the field compared to the current pcgs setup. If a cleaned coin that is worth 20 uncleaned. I think he would have a problem with it. Not only are you wasting your own money but you're wasting time at the grading service. These don't need authentication to prove they aren't counterfeit. These are Columbians not 16d mercury dimes or 93 s morgans. Also, he talks about back in the 80s you graded the coin, encapsulated it and shipped it. Nowadays you have to photograph the coin and do the registry and there's a lot more involved. I can't wait to see what he refuses to encapsulate. I don't think anyone's asked about holed or plugged coins yet on his forum. So I think I'll just do that this weekend sometime. I'm curious where he will draw the line.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
