The PCGS Solution

Industry leaders were deeply concerned that without standardized grading the rare coin industry could face major problems.

Over the course of many months of meetings, the blueprint for the Professional Coin Grading Service evolved.

The advent of the third-party appraisal of a coin's physical condition, backed by a guarantee, and a national network of reputable coin dealers could provide an extremely reliable form of protection for rare coin consumers.

PCGS would create a climate in which consumers could participate in the coin market with greater confidence.

The concept would revolutionize the rare coin industry.
