Here it is!!
Looks like they finally graded one of the large CypherHodl coins!
I should have back in hand Friday or Saturday and will update with a picture of the coin in the slab

NGC grade some of them?
Nope. Tread93 here on BitcoinTalk knows the owner, or has at least met/spoken with the owner and asked him why they don’t grade/slab physical cryptocurrency coins and he stated “we only grade real coins”. Tread then said, well you slabbed those McDonalds Big Mac coins, and he replied “those are really nice coins”.
Even if they start opening up grading for these coins, I’m going elsewhere..despite imo the NGC slabs being the best slabs by far.
Hahhaah oh man that was just a classic thread, it was actually with the Director of Product Development over there at NGC where I had this conversation with him - he actually did say those things & I found it hilarious at the time. They held off for so long until Ottoh sealed the deal with them on a one time grading and slabbing of an entire collection & potentially more collections to come (We hope!). Its really a shame that they don't branch out but hey PCGS will happily take the business.
PCGS is now up to 27 brands with CYPHERHODL being the latest.
WHAT WHAT WHAT? Really...where? I sent them mine last year... waited 6 months only to be told no and they sent my coins back. If true that is good news.
You were added within the last 7 days, Congrats!
There seems to be some confusion at PCGS between CypherHodl and MyBits coins.
There are currently 2 coins listed like this.......One they have listed as CypherHodl and the other as MyBits
There may be some confusion due to some similarites with the larger brass coins that have been produced by both makers.
I currently have one of CypherHodls halving coins there and from the status report on my account, it does appear that they are grading it... but not sure how they will ultimately label it.
My submission sheets are always clearly labeled to which maker the product is from, so lets hope PCGS didn't decide to take it upon themselves to "know" what is what at this point.
Which leads me to also ask, who the heck is doing the authentication over there?
.... cuz it ain't me or anyone I know, which makes me nervous sometimes 
lolSeemingly they mis-branded the MyBits Lion coin as a CypherHodl... all other MyBits graded by PCGS so far have the correct maker of "MyBits"
looks like the bold lettering is correct which is what will be labeled on the slab I assume, but the tagwords associated with the coin is what they mixed up maybe

Congrats k!
Is it true that you have to buy membership to PCGS in order to submit coins for
grading/slabbing?
Yes and they offer 3 levels of membership.
I am happy to submit any coins/notes to PCGS or ICG (or CGC, PSA, Beckett)
Brilliant, I'll bear that in mind mj.

So how much brass is in a Satori?

None.. and they need to stop grading plastic. Just slab it and say it's authentic!

The Stone the masons rejected was the cornerstone.
I emailed them to ask what criteria and also why certain coin makers are accepted and not others....they responded as follows..
Thank you for contacting PCGS Customer Service.
Some coins are not gradable because we do not have enough research or information on them. We cannot confirm why one coin may be graded and why another may not, as it will all depend on whether or not our graders feel they are comfortable enough and/or have enough resources and research to grade these coins.
Please let me know if you have any following questions.

Celinda

Sounds like a bunch of BS.... "Graders feeling comfortable"
Are the graders also authenticating?I would think with a company of PCGS size/cost, they would have authenticators who do this before the coins even reach the graders
Maybe they need to hire one of us!!
Indeed...you would think that right? I know Stacks uses Elias for their crypto....why cant PCGS do something similar?
In time I believe they will come around and find someone who can fill that niche and examine their crypto collectables.
I just wish others have Jumbo slabs for I wouldnt have to wait for PCGS to come around and do mine.
I wasted 6 bloddy months for them to tell me no and of course paying the fee as well.
Maybe they need to hire one of us!!
Please get hired and let me be your apprentice

Are they guaranteeing any authenticity like ICG does, or are they simply slabbing them? If just slabbing, why not slab any damn coin? Otherwise if they are “authenticating”, then we’ve got a problem.
I believe the gold shield on the label implies authentication; however, as with all the grading houses, none are guaranteeing the load value.

Yeah this is a bit wack, IMO...
At least 3 scam makers in this list, yet no other legit coinmakers.. Wtflol...

This seems like de ja vu - seems we had a thread with the same comments about 6-9 months ago - hell if I can find it though.
I have one poly note graded by them and the information they put is wrong - polymerbit confirmed the information is correct. I plan to cut it out of their ugly flimsy holder and just put it with the rest in my currency binder.

Can confirm that Bitcoin Suisse and Polymerbit notes are graded by PCGS.
Has anyone tried grading other banknote makers?

Thanks for confirming. The banknote part is tricky and may require more manual research as the pop report seems to easily reflect coins and not banknotes as so much.

Interesting list they have.... looks like there are many that they have not graded yet like the Cryptocracy:
https://www.pcgs.com/pop/detail/cryptocracy/203113/241253
Almost looks like they just copied the list of most of the coins out of the encyclopedia

Yeah it makes you wonder what it takes to get you on their list. I know I submitted mine and after waiting 6 months was told
they would not encapsulate and grade them....yet they are grading scam coins!
