Perfect Uncirculated Wheatie.

And I thought I got my MS64 for cheap, should've held out for this one, or not.

I don't know anything about SGS. The picture of the slabbed cent isn't good enough to tell if it is graded correct or not. Need to see the obverse too. Put in a minimal bid if you can now.

 

SGS(Star Grading Service) is the biggest joke of all the TPGs. More than likely it grades 63. If you do a search on this site, you will see what I am talking about.

 

This is correct. These guys don't grade...they just put any luster containing coin in a slab and mark it MS70. Their sales prices reflect that. Stay away from them.

 

Actually, I will admit I was wrong on a comment I made. SGS does accept submissions, but I wouldn't dream of doing it. http://www.stargrading.org/

 

lol

 

I thought ACG(accugrade) was the biggest joke?

 

Accugrade was just the beginning of the "guy in his garage" grading companies. It's a lot worse these days.

 

I have read in the past that people here have tried ton contact them to submit a coin only to be told that they are too busy to accept submissions at this time. I have never heard of anyone submitting to them successfully.

 

ABON/Ebay is in cahoots with SGS.

 

Actually, I believe that they are one and the same.

 

ebay & abon , yes but not SGS. Don;t know for certain though

 

Search around this board - it has been posted on here somewhere that they are one and the same. Somebody did some searching can't remember how they found it, but I do think they are one and the same.

 

SGS and Abon are owned by the same people.

Occasionally they may slip up and actually grade something correctly but I sure wouldn't buy an SGS coin without holding it in my hand.

Abon/SGS are a disgrace to coin dealers everywhere IMHO.

I just checked the NGC population on 35-D red. 178 have been graded as MS67RD. None higher. Anyone have PCGS stats?
I think that says it all. Might be a 63 and of course the pics aren't that great. Wonder why that is?

 

ahhhhh ok thanks for the info. I knew somebody was in cahoots with somebody. LOL

 

I wouldnt trust the grades, but to look at the coins Im not sure the asking buy it now proces are that far out of wack.
If I ever got one slabbed like that id break it open for sure

 

If the color and luster are like the photo in hand, I would say it has been altered and recolored. IMO. Obviously not close to a 70.

If I remember correctly, accugrade was the very first slabber and inventor of the slab.

SGS is poison, no doubt.

 

PCGS page-[SIZE=-1]Notes:
The finest Red example graded by PCGS is a single MS-68RD.[/SIZE]

 

Thanks Pennywise I think that seals the deal. Neither PCGS nor NGC has slabbed one as 69 let alone 70.

Food for thought. SGS should start a population report. I may have to start a thread about that!
