Has anyone heard of this grading service? I bought a lot of 5 coins and got 1979 SBA MS64
1972 Kennedy MS65
1976 Ike MS64
1962 Washington Quarter MS64
1960 Rossevelt dime PR68

They are nice looking coins, but I have never heard of TruGrade Service. any suggestions?

    No personal experience with them but have heard they are somewhere around the bottom of the pile of grading services. Someone has a bunch of ebay listings with slabs from trugrade. The ads read something like $30,000 worth of coins starting at $1 no reserve. Then they go on to refer to the PCGS price guide for the value of the coins. I've seen a lot of bids on some of their stuff but never watched long enough to see what they go for.

    They might be nice coins. The service carries no weight whatsoever with knowing collectors, though. Definitely a bottom-tier service, if it can be called a "grading service" at all.

    Hope you didn't pay PCGS prices for the coins. But if you like what you got and plan to keep 'em, that's all that counts.

    There was a post on one of the other forums regarding Truegrade. Coin was an MS69 TGrade and became a PCGS MS66. I've heard 3 to 4 grade difference.
