Has anyone ever used this company or has a coin slabbed by them? Any and all feedback would be appreciated.

Yes! Great service and quick turnaround. I had a variety attributed in an existing PCGS slab.

Nice that they show what to look for - some of the Vam attributes are so small you need some magnification to see them.
"When they can't find anything wrong with you, they create it!"
Man, you got that right!! 👍🏻

I can ask VSS but others here besides myself may like to know. Is the photo in the VSS "Coin World" slab of the coin in the holder or a "stock" photo?

The slabs I use are the newer Coin World slabs, which are stacking-compatible with PCGS slabs. The photo on the holder is of the actual coin in the holder, not a stock photo.

That looks like an excellent resource for VAM collectors - and the reports above support them. Cheers, RickO
UPDATE: 10 day turnaround time, excellent service!! 👍🏻 👍🏻

ya. that's kinda why i was asking. i would like to know if i have to purchase a mag, subscription or if it is publicly available.
The construction of the website is one of the things that I need to get around to. I'm hoping to be able to devote some time to it this weekend, perhaps after I go grocery shopping. The article mentioned above was a press released published in the September issue of The Numismatist that was also sent to a couple other news outlets.
