It looks to me like this fellow broke open his 2000 proof set and included a franklin half. Judging by the bids, it worked. $500.00 for a 42-dollar proof set and a hundred-dollar coin. Wow!
If you go to the "Certification service" website (www.mccscoins.com- I actually accidentally typed mccsCONS.com the first time) you will see a familair font and border art to the ebay seller.
Also starnge that They reference the PCGS price guide in Ebay auctions, but they have a link for price guide on their site.
of coarse ther are no prices, and much of the are/format looks to be copied dirrectly from pcgs.

I saw coins in those holders for the first time at Baltimore. Only 1 dealer had them. I thought the holders looked terrible with that round bottom shape.
It is amazing how people will bid high for coins in individual holders. The whole proof set in mint holders is easy to get at a much lower price.
How could you doubt the grading skills of MCCS?!...
I listen to your voice like it was music, [ y o u ' r e ] the song I want to know.
I'd give you the world, just because...
Speak to me of loved ones, favorite places and things, loves lost and gained, tears shed for joy and sorrow, of when I see the sparkle in your eye ... and the blackness when the dream dies, of lovers, fools, adventurers and kings while I sip my wine and contemplate the Chi.
