As per the title thread, there are enough threads on other parts of the forum relating to it so I thought I would throw it out there that while I mainly purchase raw coins I am always looking for some more PCGS coins.
My primary collecting focus is pre-decimal proofs, however, I also collect high grade pennies, florins, decimals and others.
If any others on the forum are looking to sell please send me a PM or post in this thread accordingly.
I'm about to send 13 of my best predecimal coins over to PCGS for the regular service grading
while Eric has got his $50 special going.Is it just me or does there seem to be in increased interest
in aquiring PCGS slabbed coins in the last year.Is this a trend that will continue for Australian collectors?
Yes Steve there does seem to be an increased interest in slabbed coins I've noticed it also at coin shows.

There is definitely an increased demand (I too am collecting PCGS coins solely) and you can credit the Eigner brothers for the majority of it. Great work guys if you are reading this.
I'm a fan of PCGS too although I also buy NGC graded coins from time to time. I like the relative certainty associated with what you are buying. I also like the set registry concept which helps you focus your collection.

A huge increase in demand for slabbed coins (particularly PCGS). Might only be another year or 2 before the only high grade raw coins on offer are those with issues that prevent slabbing without a "details" killjoy.
I buy both PCGS and NGC. NGC sells for less (so will have a lower resale if I sell them), but I buy to accumulate and enjoy so the OP won't be getting any of mine.

There still seems to be a reasonable quantity of very nice pre dec coins coming out of the UK and USA.I would say as the original collectors pass on their heirs roll them out to cash in

yep, I think so because I have to keep paying more and more and getting poorer and poorer.
