First time I've seen this "company".

I have seen a few eBay auctions, but know nothing about them.

I will be interested to see how everyone else responds.

The company first came to my attention about two weeks ago and it has been discussed here on two other threads. I don't know where it comes from yet but I bought one on ebay several days ago an hopefully I'll see it soon.

There is another new company out there that hasn't been mentioned here before. I just discovered it two days ago, CGA (Coin Grading Australia). This is the sixth grading service located outside the US and the second one in Australia. It is also the first to actually use a sonicly welded slab. (The other services are or were located in Canada, ICCS and PPGS, Hong Kong, ICGS, and Great Britian, don't remember name it started around the first of the year and only does milled British coinage.) I haven't seen any CGA coins yet but I found their website Coin Grading Australia while doing an internet search for Certification Services.

Wow! $4000 Trends. Bid is only at $1.50. Better put it on my snipe list.

Looks like the Coin World resealable slab with a different insert label.

Orville, the picture in the linked auction is not good. From other auctions it appears that it is a coin in half of a 2X2 flip inside of a Trugrade style slab shell not a Coin World slab shell.
