    100 points is enough.

    Seems almost all of his coins are "graded" by CCGS. I'm highly tempted to buy something just to neg him for misrepresentation, but first I'd have to know his connection to CCGS. From what I can tell the "company" has no online presence. How are customers supposed to submit coins to CCGS? Unless it's solely intended for rip-off artists/dealers.

    If you are going to, then you will lose money on certification fees.

    Wrong company. (Capitol Coin Grading Service actually has some very nice slabs. Well designed and made from a rigid yet "soft" feeling plastic something similar to what SEGS uses, but the holder looks more like an oversized old ANACS slab.) It gets very confusing because there have been four different companies that have used these initials and three others with very similar initials. Capital Coin Grading Service has been in businss since 2003. The CCGS that Howardsdirect is selling is Certified Coin Grading Service and they have only been around for about 6 months.

    Howardsdirect has now been the "primary distributor" for at least three different "fly-by-night" grading services now and one that has had a little more staying power, NNC. Still a lower tier service but better than the others.

    Other companies using CCGS are:

    CCGS (actual name unknown) This company started as DCGS, almost immediatley changed its name to CCGS, and produced a little over 100 slabs before changing their name to NSCGS
    CCGS Canadian Currency Grading Service

    Companies with similar names:

    CCGC Certified Coin Grading Company
    CCCS Canadian Coin Certification Service
    CTGS Coin and Token Grading Service
    CGCGS Certi-Grade Coin Grading Service
