New Photograde Upgrade Imminent

PCGS has recently completed an upgrade to its popular and highly regarded Photograde Online program. Version 1.4, due to be released next month, includes approximately 120 new grade photographs, and another two dozen improved or replacement images.

Added for the first time are Draped Bust Half Dimes, with 21 grades ranging from Fair-2 to MS65. Significant enhancements have been made to the following coins:

1793 Half Cents, 1796 Quarters, low-grade Quarter Eagles, high-grade Draped Bust Half Dollars, and Classic Half Eagles. A number of "holes" have been plugged as well, particularly at the lowest and highest grade levels.

Photograde 1.4 features 1,763 images covering 85 different types, or an average of nearly 21 grades per type. Nowhere else is such a comprehensive photographic grading guide available.

The update will be offered free of charge at: www.pcgs.com/Photograde/

Additionally, a version for both the iPhone and the iPad will also be available free of charge through Apple's App Store.
