Anyone know about World Class Grading?
It seems they are focused on sports cards but have branched out into coins. The following is from their About Us page:

Well I don't see a grade on that slab so I don't know how much I would trust their grading proficiency if they can't even remember to put it on the coin.
It appears to be a slab for preservation rather than grading. A telephone call would resolve the question. Cheers, RickO
Seems like the Black Ruthenium pieces are put out by 2 major parties: Merrick Mint and the Blackout Collection. The WCG slabs are offered by The Merrick Mint who claims to be the largest manufacturer:
Weird buffalo nickel. Ruthenium is silver in color and is in the platinum group of metals. It's hard and sometimes mixed with Platinum to make it harder! It's a rare earth metal that commercially comes from the refining of nickel (waste by product).
I don't understand the black look. But, I don't understand a lot of metallurgy, either.

They have been grading coins for a while.
See http://www.doubledimes.com for a free online reference for US twenty-cent pieces
They are legit, great, cheaper, faster, 25 years of experience
The website says very little about coins, mainly sports cards. That's the area their 25 years of experience has been in.
