PCGS Secure Plus™ Gains Momentum in Numismatic Community

Since the launch of the new PCGS Secure Plus Service, more and more Secure Plus coins are hitting the market. We've had several leading rare coin experts weigh in on the promising service, and their comments point to its widespread acceptance among collectors and dealers.

Here is what they had to say:

"Secure Plus is a fantastic innovation for the hobby. It adds a much-needed security feature that will especially give collectors and investors the confidence needed to make informed judgments about valuable coins."
John Feigenbaum
President of David Lawrence Rare Coins

"PCGS Secure Plus is good for the industry and every legitimate numismatic entity because it's designed to combat coin doctoring and grade-flation, two of the biggest concerns in the industry. Extinguishing coin doctors is a plus."
John Albanese
President of Albanese Numismatics and Co-Founder of Certified Acceptance Corp.

"PCGS Secure Plus helps the authorities to recover stolen coins, and it helps the consumer to have protection against doctored coins. All in all, this just a terrific concept that will maintain and stabilize the proper grade and eliminate the two most important negatives that everybody is concerned about. Secure Plus is an added plus for the hobby and industry."
Ira Goldberg
Chief Executive Officer of Ira & Larry Goldberg Coins & Collectibles

"It's a great innovation for the coin market because it allows a coin to be mapped and this offers many benefits. The coin can always be identified so it's a deterrent to theft and an instrument to help recovery of stolen coins."
Harry Laibstain
President, Harry Laibstain Rare Coins

"PCGS has made a great product better. Secure Plus is a winner for the coin consumer, boosting the integrity, safety and market value of his investment. That old saw that 'coins are like snowflakes, no two are alike,' takes on new meaning (as being outdated) with Secure Plus' identification technology."
