You think that's bad?!

I've seen a 1967 Canadian "PF-67 commemorative dollar" in an ACG holder. The problems were that 1) Canada didn't even strike proofs until 1973, so the coin was unc, 2) it was a medal, not a dollar, and 3) it was nowhere near MS-67, let alone PF-67.

Ahhhh..... the smell of baked morgans.

At the coin show today, a dealer had a 1968-D Kennedy in a ACG holder graded MS68MPL. It was a real nice coin to be in such a crappy holder. Other dealers were calling this dealer "weasel". Made me go to another table.

Keep bagging ACG and see if I don't submit everyones email address for the 50 cent reward!!

HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All private auctions. The seller seems to know he is selling crap and doesn't want people to warn other bidders.

I guess those who bid on those coins don't have much use for their cash? Every market has shady sellers and inferior products. Numismatics as a marketplace for collectibles has a bit more room for fraud. I don't feel sorry for the bidders. After the first 42 seconds as a collector one should know who to avoid and who has more legitimacy as a professional grader

You needed to ask?

Yeah but wouldn't Russ really feel like crap if he became the first person in history to recieve a bodybag from ACG? I mean not that I think he would, but there is a *small, infinitesmal* chance that he *could*.

Russ · February 9, 2003 11:41AM

Does ACG require any kind of signup thing like the real grading services? I just might do it, but not if I have to actually signup with them.

Russ, NCNE

Anyone can submit to ACG. All you need is a lack of ethics and morals.

I believe that Michael Dixon received a bodybag from ACG for a coin cracked out of an ANACS slab. ACG said counterfeit.

<< <i>Anyone can submit to ACG. All you need is a lack of ethics and morals. >>

So, Greg, if one submits an obviously AT'd coin to ACG simply as a test, they have no morals or ethics?

Russ, NCNE

Greg- You might want to clarify that Michael Dixon DOES have ethics and morals and I believe he sent a coin or two to Accugrade on a whim.

(I know you didn't mean to lump Michael in that group, but it just kind of came out that way.)

Correct. MD is one of the good guys.
