    They are creative...

    I wonder what is the true grade of that 1927 MS67 Saint on their site. It probably wouldn't cross to PCGS.

    I hate to pile on AGC also but I'll bet when they use these designations, they won't even follow their own standards, let alone accepted standards. I like the FEB also image but I think ALL their slabs should carry the BS designation. That would seem more appropriate.

    Full Beak???? WTF............give me a beak, errr break

    They're full of something all right.
    "Lenin is certainly right. There is no subtler or more severe means of overturning the existing basis of society(destroy capitalism) than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and it does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose."

    Several years ago, somebody on the boards did a trademark search or copyright search and found out the FEB trademarks/copyright had lapsed. All the TM/Copyrights listed are not in effect. Maybe somebody can research and pull the old thread to the top.

    more from their web site: (i had tears of laughter until I read this far)

    "over 100 people who took the ACG course became professional coin dealers."

    Bet if they named any the people would sue for defamation of character by association.

    I still say that ACG fills a market demand for dealers who purposely want to rip off their uneducated buyers who think they are getting professionally graded coins!
