Hmm, I haven't heard of them. Doesn't look accurately graded to me.

Yup...I think it's time to open up PJSGS....Paigow Johnny's SUPERIOR Grading Service....you want it...you get it...for a fee

Woner if ACG will sell me one of their slabbing kits.....I may have to go to Pushkin

I'm really getting tired of all these PGS knockoffs!

Maybe its time to stop slabbing Indians and start slabbing slabs!

PCSSS - Pushkin Certified Slabs Slabbing Service

Perhaps also time to start an authentication only service - Authenticated Slabbed Slabs - A$$

Interesting that they used the word "printed" instead of minted. Who else do we know that does that?

Good catch, Russ.
Think maybe this is Deb's parent company?

I wonder if that means you are only going to get a picture of the coin and not the coin its self??? With the picture being printed in Philly.

Did anybody besides me try to go to the website listed on the certificate? No website comes up as www.stargrading.org

JMOORE

MICHAELDIXON,

Yes, I tried too. Could be a new domain that hasn't propagated through DNS yet?

How about this claim from the auction:

The original 1961 Proof Set was issued at $2.10 in 1961 and has increased in value more than 800 percent!

Don't these things sell for about $8 or $9 on eBay?

Russ

Would have to be a VERY new domain. Nowadays, propagation happens within 24 to 48 hours.

The name was registered 12.21.02 by Larry Bence out of Mansfield, OH. You'd think he'd have made sure a functional site was up and accessible before hawking his product.

I'm a buyer-- after all this is "America's Grading Service".

Dimetime

Isn't that just a generic case with a label inside, then sealed with a sticker top and bottom. How many are going to fall for this thinking they get a genuine trusted grading service. People will try to make money any way they can.

Yep it's a coinworld slab.

Conder101

No it's not a Coin World slab, it's a Capital Plastics holder. (Coin World slabs have rounded corners and the globe logo molded into the plastic at the lower left corner on both sides.)

A few days later I saw a slab called ISN.

Conder101

Where did you see it and are you sure it wasn't INS?
