Photograde Version 1.2 Released on Three Platforms

PCGS has released the second revision to its popular Photograde™ Online on three different platforms.

Web Version: Available at the PCGS Website at http://www.pcgs.com/Photograde/.

iPhone™ Version: Available at the Apple App Store. Search on "PCGS."

iPad™ Version: Photograde HD™, with double the resolution of the iPhone version.

Both the iPhone and iPad versions are distributed free of charge.

Included in this update is coverage for two additional series, Half Cents and Half Dimes, plus over 550 new photographs. PCGS Photograde now features a total of 1450 photographs, illustrating an average of 21 grades for each of 69 different series.

According to Mike Sherman, project coordinator, "In addition to the newly-added series, a great many of the lower grades in the existing series have been replaced. We have made a concerted effort over the past several months to get better representatives for coins in the VF and lower range."

PCGS Photograde is an ongoing project, and revisions are expected roughly every two months. The next revision will likely complete many of the pre-1807 silver and pre-1834 gold type coins. Following that, we hope to be adding text to assist the user. Finally, we hope to be able to issue a book, available both in printed and electronic form.
