it cracks me about the lealana buyer funded - it really does. every single lealana is buyer funded - whether the holo says it or not. Smoothie never funds the coins, he has the buyer directly fund them prior to shipment (these dont get the "buyer funded" holo) and then they can fund them after they received them (these get the "buyer funded" holo). Personally, I rather fund them when I get them vs before he ships them - just in case they go missing - then the loss is less.
It would be different if smoothie actually funded them but he does not - they are all "buyer funded" whether the holo says it or not.

2stout: Wow. I didn't see the Moonbits and Titans. This is definitely surprising in light of them not grading CI coins.
Could be wrong, but it appears these are the crypto coins that PCGS grades:
https://www.pcgs.com/coinfacts/category/world-coins/decentralized-currency/cryptocurrency/203113
(7- Casascius, Lealana, BTCC, MoonBits, Denarium, Satori, Titan)
What's frustrating is something like this should have gotten an official announcement as most are probably still under the impression that the only crypto coins PCGS grades are Casascius, Lealana, and BTCC. Also, how in the hell CI isn't up there but Titan is??? Also, I can confirm that my CI submission was rejected as they stated they don't grade this maker yet and that was a little over a month and a half ago.

There are a couple of moderately interesting developments with PCGS:
1. They graded some Satori coins. They chose to actually grade them too versus going the route of ICG which just verifies that it is authentic
2. A Denarium was graded for the first time. So, this bumps the the coins they are willing to grade up to 5 (Cas, Lealana, BTCC, Satori, Denarium). I heard they rejected quite a few others, including CI coins.
3. There was some reluctance in the past with Buyer Funded / Unfunded coins. I tried to get a couple of Lealana Buyer Funded graded last year and they were rejected. PCGS recently graded a ton of Buyer funded coins.
