    Hard to tell from the photos, but the top coin must be the 51. Looks like wear on the hair around the ear.

    Just another basement slabber. None of the grades on the "slabs" are even close to the actual grade. I clearly see wear on the first Gold Dollar. Can't see the other coins clearly but I'm sure they're about the same.

    Does the barcode actually work?

    Self slabbing/ mock third-party grading was a HUGE business model in the early 2000 before eBay changed their rules. A lot of coin-ignorant folks got scalped.

    The con here is that the "ms64" fantasy grade is based on what the coin would have graded without x, y, and z at a real service with real guarantees.

    Maybe they use a 100pt scale?

    I could not find a website for this service... so likely an attempt to enter the market with no foundation or organization. Cheers, RickO

    The mere presence of hard plastic around a coin doesn't imply the grade given has any more credibility than if it were written in crayon on a 2x2.

    Never heard of them or seen any of their graded coins. However, it would be nice to see some competition if they could make it to the top tier since there are really only two. Maybe turnaround times would improve.

    Basement slabbers, so obviously not the right grades, but I would not be surprised if all those coins made the low MS range. Nice looking coins, no matter the slab.
