Never seen one of these before...

TruGrade?. Geez, ACG is lookin' better every day. I don't know who TruGrade is, but I feel so much better with the seller's assurance that the coin is a "GEM BLAZER CERTIFIED BY TRU GRADE, A BETTER GRADING SERVICE.IT TAKES THE GUESS WORK OUT OF WHAT GRADE IT IS." I feel so much better, now. Maybe I should bid on the TruGrade MS65 DMPL Morgan he has for sale, too.

You gotta love that "SWARLING" mint luster.

There have been a few threads about the brand new TruGrade. Seems there is a new one each quarter?

Lordmarcovan- Sure glad to see you back on the Forum!

Welcome back lordmarcovan - Long time no read! This Trugrade stuff pops up occasionally but I have them trumped! I buy a bunch of the Coin World Coin Storage System "slabs" and laser print some inserts and presto! The numismatic world has the CCGS (Coppernicus Conservative Grading Service) standard of excellence. ACG is shakin' in their boots!!!

Is that what CCGS stands for?

I ask because there really are CCGS slabs out there. The company has had three names so far DCGS (Distinctive Coin Grading Service Do not confuse with Digital Coin Grading Servce), CCGS, and they are currently operating under the name NSCGS (New Standard Coin Grading Service).
