PVC or not PVC? That is the question. - 5 new
---------------------------------------------
...That type of corrosion can be caused by a number of things, PVC included.
I'd rather say that if it were PVC damage, it would be more evenly spread over
the surface, and on both sides. Does the coin appear greasy or slimy? That's a
dead giveaway for PVC damage, but PCGS certainly would have known - Mon, Mar

Halves still (randomly) getting confused as dollar coins - 6 new
----------------------------------------------------------------
...When I lived in Canada in 1962 half dollars circulated a lot; mainly
Canadian ones but a good number of US ones also. On visits to the US half
dollars were not uncommon. Why did they drop out of use? I can understand the
reason in Canada when the dollar coin was introduced. I will be visiting LA
and San Francisco in August, and I look forward to seeing some of thes coins
around ;-) - Tues, Mar 30 2010 9:17 am

PCGS Secure Plus - 3 new
------------------------
Did anyone notice the teaser blurb for PCGS's "new" SecurePlus service? [link]
Quoting: Imagine a world without coin doctoring. Imagine a world without "
gradeflation." It seems to me the whole idea behind "plus" grading is to get
people to resubmit their coins so they can get that precious "plus." So - Tues,
