Question about removing or reducing marks from an eraser on a trade dollar

I don't think this a reputable grading service. Just looked at their website which looked, frankly silly. Top two are PCGS and NGC. Sounds like it won't grade based on what your saying. I started the posts on how to "safely naturally tone a coin" which maybe helpful to you as a lot of people put some helpful response here. It is critical you take the time to learn to post photos. You can type this in the search format, or the intro section has lots of good info. Basically, assuming you have a digital camera used "digital Macros" format to photo the coin. Then use a USB cable to plug photos into the computer. All computers have some form of photo storing capability unless it's a dinosaur. Click on "manage attachments" below and it will allow you to upload. This will help everyone help you better. You will learn a lot on this site. I certainly have!

I agree, but I just thought that it would be rather unfair to totally discount the possibility of a positive experience based on their website.

 

Lafayette, I had to leave the computer before your last question to me. I said no based on several factors. First based on the website, click on home and it begins "About me", a good indication it is a single individual. He claims 99% of the customers are satisfied, but no references, no numbers of processed coins, no contracts with dealers or organizations. Also check sonic sealing ~ says will begin in late 2007, why no update? are they doing this or not? The website is only a few pages long, so this is not something they might overlook. If he has worked at NCS,ANACS, etc, he would have a resume. I seriously doubt if anyone on the forum could say they had a good result, if they do then disregard my comment.

Best wishes on your choice.

But Jim.. They did give exact measurments of what the slabs will measure when they DO come out!
:rolling:

 

I just emailed the company out of curiosity with the following message: I'm considering using your grading service. I was wondering, what are your graders qualifications as a company's graders? Also, is it just you who is the grader at your company? Also have you begun sonically sealing coins yet? Thank you.

I received this reply, about an hour later: Hello dear customer, We have very seaseoneed graders with our company. The holders are state of the art. We reccomend our company. Thank you.

What struck me as slightly odd about this reply was the blatant misspelling of "seasoned", and "recommend". Secondly the reply seemed short, but not sweet, and very evasive. I am surprised I got a reply at all though.

Any thoughts?

 

Don't mess with them. They can't help.
