Morning Group,
Has anyone herd of PCC (Premier Certified Coins)? I ask because I bought a 2005 silver eagle listed as MS70 on ebay. And it seems to have 2 small scratches in it. It is possible they are on the holder rather than the coin. But regaurdless, I have not seen any mention of PCC here. And don't know if it's a reputable grading co. or a Joe's certified coins.

(appoliges to any Joe's Out there)

I've seen some of their slabs on ebay.Not sure where they rank tho.Chances are that their ms70 is PCGS's ms65.

There junk from what I got. A fool listed a group of coins and I got them. One is a 2001 NY quarter that says MS68 on it. I have better coins in my pocket change jar.

Anyone can start a grading company and anyone can grade coins to their own standards. I prefer to use PCGS, NGC and ANACS only for my coin grading needs. If I find a coin that is not in one of those mentioned holders, I treat it as a raw coin.

D#$N,
I was afraid of that. I bought another thats not slabbed, to put in my collection book. Maybe I'll just crack this one out instead.

Just an update:

I did crack out this eagle and one of the scratches I saw is in the coin

And I wanted an MS70

The auction description didn't say WHO graded it. Watch out for P.C.C.

I've seen this link posted many times in nthe Forum. Here it is again http://rg.ancients.info/guide/slabs.html It is a very informative and seemingly unbiased review of many TPG's I think it will help in your future slab purchases.Mike
