    Imagine a 2 day turnaround for $15 from one of the big boys!

    ICG is one of the most underrated grading services. I have only a small number of ICG graded coins and the assigned grades are spot on.

    That was when they were starting out, with graders JP Martin, Keith Love and Walt Armitage I believe. I sent a few batches of coins to them then that I'd cracked out of NGC holders that I thought were undergraded and did not do better with them. Those old holders are of better quality imo than the new ones ICG is using. They were in Colorado then right? Then Anacs moved to Colorado. Grading all comes down to the graders, the finalizer and business manager.

    They were attributing all major references and if you were fortunate enough to contact James Taylor, this is what he would have told you:
    "I've seen fire and I've seen rain
    I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
    I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
    But I always thought that I'd see you again."

    Oops, wrong James. :)

    Famous sample slab, actually rarer than you might think, as apparently a lot of them were turned in or thrown out.
