    I looked at all of his slabs (as opposed to PCI, etc.). The only two I thought looked bad were the original 31-S and the 09-S.

    So who exactly is grading these coins cause I don't see any company's name on it?

    Look in the bottom left of the front side. That globe is from Amos slabs. They sell blank slabs. I would imagine denvercertifiedcoins is doing the grading.

    You are in for a big surprise if you think they are the only ones. The big companies (NNC, SGS, etc.) even make their own slabs.

    The labels say "DCC", which I assume is Denver Certified Coins.
    It's funny how the seller, DCC, says in the description that his coins are "third party graded"...
    If you are the buyer, he is the seller, how is he also a third party?

    I don't doubt that they do it too. It's just that I don't think they would set up an account and name it 'their grading service'.

    The 31-S is a well known fake, it has the text book features, the L in LIBERTY against the rim, the wheat grains, and more... The second 31-S appears genuine, but very harshly cleaned. The 1909-S is also fake. This seller goes out of his way to deceive....very scary.
