    That is pretty low.

    I was especially fascinated by the statement "CCGC deals with literally thousands of coin collectors worldwide." Must have forgot to edit that part. Oh, and "All textual, graphical and other content that appears on this web site is the property of Commonwealth Coin Grading Company, LLC (CCGC), etc. etc." That's a hoot!

    Oops! Looks like another remarkable coincidence! CCGC legal page vs. NGC's legal page.

    New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.

  • Yep, same type of writing, they just changed the company name.

  • Q. Does CCGC make the plastic holders or do you have a company that does this for you?
    A. All of the components for the CCGC holder are manufactured by another company.

    That "another company" is Coin World since they are "slabbing" into CW slabs. Maybe they are at least sealing them with superglue.

    At least this is cool (although probably also taken from somewhere else).

    I've seen far worse.

    Yeah use superglue, the corrosive solvents and their fumes ought to make for some interesting toning effects in the future.

  • king_pharaoh has 27 auctions in these self-slabs on ebay, and 13 more have closed recently. This is the only seller selling this slab.

    He probably created the web site just to add some "legitimacy".

    << <i>CCGS -- That's LAME!! >>


    CCGC not CCGS, there are at least three different firms that use or have used the initials CCGS. This isn't one of them.

    << <i>Attractive and secure holders.

    Our team researched the most attractive and durable holder in the market. First we wanted to make sure the holder would compliment the coin and bring out all the beauty the coin has to offer, so we chose a simple but high tech insert to our holder.

    We had fifty customers look at twenty sample holders in different colors and the winner was the holder we use today. The insert is a non PVC material that will not react with the coins metal and cause change in color.

    The outer case Is a Lexan 503-GY11052 Polycarbonate Polymer. This modified acrylic resin offers impact strengths 7 times the strength of general-purpose acrylic resins making it one of the strongest, most durable holders on the market. In addition, it has imbedded ultra violet protection to shield the sun's rays and protect the coin from toning.

    Our label is serial numbered to prevent counterfeits, duplicates and provide easy inventory management for you. >>

    << <i>Q. Are there any types of coins that CCGC does not grade and slab?

    A. CCGC only grades and slabs USA coins. CCGC does not grade coins from other countries. Our organization is presently looking for expert graders to grade world coins. CCGC also does not grade or encapsulate non-genuine pieces.

    Q. What about foreign coins?

    A. No >>



    Hmm.

    Then you might have selected a better illustration for your webpage. Note the one actual coin picture at the top of the page: image

    From the "Grading Scale" page:

    << <i>CCGC is one of the industry leaders in third party grading services. >>



    Ooh, yeah, they're a real household name. image



    << <i>The coins are graded and then sealed in a tamper apparent "slab". Thus the grade of that particular coin is determined beyond doubt. >>



    The tampering apparent must be their cheesy insert and whatever means they use to seal the slab. What a waste of a perfectly good Coin World holder.

    Oh, stop it already... you people are slaying me! image



    I've got another question they can add to their page:



    << <i>Q. If I submit coins to "CCGC", will I ever see them again? >>



    I'd love to know the real answer to that one.

  • I used to write strategy guides for computer games and sell them online. At the end of each 40 page guide I'd have a disclaimer stating: "If you purchased this guide from any website other than http://www.tugako.com, please email webmaster@tugako.com."

    Several times people would steal my guides and sell them on eBay WITH THE DISCLAIMER STILL PRESENT!
    I heard they were making a French version of Medal of Honor. I wonder how many hotkeys it'll have for "surrender."

    I'm sure no one is sending anything to CCGC, but you better hope they don't use super glue. They use super glue to develop fingerprints.

    It was discovered in cameras coming in from Japan. White fingerprints were appearing on the lenses. A chemical in the super glue along with the oils in the skin react and form a durable white fingerprint. This is commonly used in crime labs. I used to do this. Also, doesn't anyone watch CSI?
