Not looking to start a flame war. Just trying to find out if Mr. Hagar is still with us.
I was googling today and found that Accugrade® is now a registered trademark for Caterpillar earth moving equipment:

Also, the asa-accugrade.com website is no longer functioning and appears to be parked and available for purchase.
Anyone have info?

So, that pile of dimes leaving the Philadelphia Mint and dumped out of a semi truck in a heap on a Walmart parking lot by thieves could have, literally, been Accugraded?
His eBay handle is/was gotjacollectibles.
That might be a place to start.
Another route is to PM MACGE1 a member here- who was/is a business partner and a friend of Alan.
(MACGE1 hasn't checked in here since late 2020 so that may also be a dead end, so to speak.)
I assume this is the Alan Hager you are asking about. If so PM me and I will give you his contact information.
Appreciate the response, @WQuarterFreddie . That's definitely Mr. Hagar. I hadn't heard of that service. Though it appears the macablege.com website also now appears to be deactivated.

I first met him back in 2019 after having an issue with an Ebay sale. We talked over the phone a few times and eventually met at the 2020 Whitman Coin show in Baltimore. He went all in on the W quarters and is a self proclaimed expert on them.😂🤣
He puts a MAC sticker on the slabbed W quarters he deems "spotless".
Again, I have his contact information if you want it.
He banned me from his ebay auctions after I corrected him on a "top pop" coin he had listed that was incorrect. Maybe I came off too much of a smarty. Oh well!

To hell with the facts /s
I've got plenty of stories of his days when he would visit us in Canada at some major coin shows, but I don't want to get banned.

He was alive and kicking at the Phoenix Ana show in March. I also have many stories of working with him as a teenager but I also do not want to be banned 😀
Please 'like' this post if you too have a story and don't want to get banned.

I don't know, but if you want to feel old, Sammy Hagar is 76.
