Collectors and dealers took advantage of the debut exhibition to personally examine highlights of the Professional Coin Grading Service Grading Set during the recent September 2007 Long Beach Coin, Stamp and Collectibles Expo.

“I had an enjoyable time sitting down with some of the attendees to explain the subtleties of grading and why one coin was better than another,” said Ron Guth, President of PCGS, a division of Collectors Universe, Inc. (NASDAQ: CLCT).

“Based on the feedback I received from people who viewed the Grading Set, the most popular coins were counterfeits, altered and problem coins. Most people get a quick grasp on how to grade a coin based on the design details, but they’re hungry to learn about the sometimes troublesome nuances of cleaning, artificial color, authenticity and other areas that require a higher level of expertise.”
