We are fairly new to Ebay and are looking to put our best foot forward as suggested by our positive feedback

I love MS66's with scuffs all over the face and fields....

<< <i>ACC?

Saw a platinum eagle (MS 67) undergraded (Was/is a 69 in fact) in one of these ACCs. Got it for spot plus $3 when plat was $800 oz. Would consider such a coin raw and igore the listed grade. The slab itself was hard to open, for what that's worth.


FCI?

Nice coin world brand holder. Nothing says: "I slab my own coins and offer them on ebay hoping to get more money than the coin is worth" quite like a CW holder with a black insert done on a dot matrix printer.


NGS? >>



Well, the holder says they guarantee authenticity. SGS guarantees authenticity too. Why put a grade on a coin if you do not believe the grade enough to guarantee it?

"This is my word on this slab. I won't stand behind the grade I put on it, but you can take my word for it."


sheesh

how is it they can call these coins certified?

I'm not to upset by most of the TPG's that reverse the letters of their "company" names to make them similar to the big ones, but that NGS one uses slab labels that looks almost exactly like the NGC slab. What BS.

ACC has been around for at least two years with at least two, possibly three types of slabs.

FCI, I'm not sure but I believe this is a new one to me.

NGS Been around for at least three months, and I beileve there are two different companies using those initials.

Yes they guarantee the authenticity (weakly) in writing, but like most services they won't stand behind their grade opinion because "grading is subjective" while the major services guarantee their grades in writing (strongly) but won't guarantee authenticity in writing. (But to date they HAVE always stood behind them through their actions.)

I'm thinking of starting a grading service - BGS (Bogus Grading Service). Catchy?

I don't think those initials have been used yet. But there has been a BCGS.
