    This was a graded PGCS. And it appears it was their new holder (??). Wow. Looks like I'm sticking with NGC for now.

    Oh that's interesting. It was Mirkkanen himself who told me to avoid gold pandas that are PCGS slabbed.

    Are you saying that the slab materials or the slabbing process itself causes problems on gold Pandas only?

    To me this does not look like a new pcgs holder, there should be a QR code on the back.
    Also the rim on the inside, is not the same as the new holder. I have already 10 coins graded in the new holder, so I know how it looks like.

    Well that's good to know SG. Whew. It appears the older slabs are a big problem for both silver and gold, from what I've seen and researched. Not that NGC are saints. :)))

    Hey missing, I believe it is the material they used for the older slabs. Hence why they came out with new ones. Hopefully they hold up well. I'll wait and see. :))
