They are the originator of the slab. ANACS used their slab when they started slabbing coins. However, most every coin I have seen in their slab of late has been overgraded. They are not a "self slabbing" company, just that they overgrade.

 

Yes it is real! Mr. Alan Hager of Accugrade is the ONE invented of slabbing coin and also professional experts grading of coin & cards. Slabbing coin start in 1984 follow by PCGS 1986 then NGC in 1987. The Lawsuit is real. In year 2000 I met mr. Alan Hager in Baltimore, Maryland, March. He personally graded my coins in Baltimore Coin Show. Here's one of the slab that he graded in youtube

Inaccugrade would be far more descriptive than their current name.

 

O.K., if I where to buy an Accugrade coin, how many grades should I spot them?

PG

 

I figured it wouldn't be all bad to buy an ACG since it would give you a better chance of getting an authentic coin. Also figure you could just spot them a couple grades. Did they ever grade more than +2?

How wrong can one person be?

More often than not.

 

There are some interesting names in that link.
Lots of good people got stuck in that mess.
It was a crazy time in coin history.

There was one thing really cool. Many varieties were put in those slabs but not shown on the label and many folks did not even take the time to look at the coin because of the holder it was in.

 

GD....you forgot one....
If you can buy the coin for below melt....I guess at that point you need to refer to GD's rule number 3. Fortunately, not many people are faking IKEs these days. Just bought 4 silver IKEs in Accugrade slabs for below melt. Going to be cracking them out, here in a few minutes unless someone can give me a reason why they are worth more in these slabs.

 

From what I've read....keep crackin' Joe.

 

Why are the listing links from the site "Removed" from Ebay?

 

What listing sites from e-bay?

 

Not sure,,I clicked on the link above.. then looked at coins for sale.. Morgans and clicked on a couple from the site and it sent me to a closed (removed) auction.. I will try to go back to see....It was odd

 

Like our very own Peter T Davis.. : ) GO get em Peter. I know 8 of the defendants. LOL. I must travel in bad company...

 

Found it.. Coins for Sale.. then Dollars.. Then Inventory.. Then on the coins and Boom.. Closed Auction??.http://www.swcgs.com/Coins_For_Sale/Silver_Dollars_For_Sale.html

 

Cr....crac....crack.....cracke......cracked out baby!

 

I once saw a slabbed coin. It was a Franklin Half Dollar graded MS63 3/4 Full Bell Lines. It may have been an MS63 but I was laughing so hard that I couldn't see through my tears. 3/4 Full Bell Lines? I call this reaching.

OH.

It was an ACG slab.

At the risk of being sued (by ACG) I'd really follow the comments left by GDJMSP.
