Here is what I believe will happen in the near future.  A coin will be less desirable if not graded.  Everyone will ask, "what is wrong with the coin that it is not in a holder?"  I do not know about you but I can't see through the double seal coins.  This is a problem!  To me, authenticating is #1.  This protects everyone.  I like the feature of encapsulating to prevent further damage from occuring to the coins.  In addition, once encapsulated, these are much easier to store and ship. 

Many coins not conserved soon will continue to deteriortate to the point in which they will not be able to be conserved.  This means they will lose value.  The smart collectors and investors know this and are being proactive.  There will always be those late to the game who want to resist. 

We were one of the first to conserve and grade.  We were at the forefront in helping develop the new jumbo holders.  We were the first to have our coins in the  jumbo holders that we were influencial in developing.  We were the first to show these large holders in China and the US.  We made a market from this and will continue to lead with new innovations to educate and promote Modern Chinese, error coins and other areas of numismatics.  This is why it is so exciting to see eveyone realize something we started back in 2005.   Collect, Invest and Have Fun!!!
