SGS is a coin grading
company with the
highest standards of
quality and integrity.

Wow thats false

Our experts have over 100 combined years dealing with rare and valuable coins.
America's new Grading Service.

How many "experts" do you have, like 1,000? lol

 

"Sorry about the blurry picture, my camera is broken."

 

Up for bids with NO RESERVE is a Silver 1955 D Roosevelt Dime...Buy it now 3rd-party CERTIFIED & GRADED a lofty MS-67 FB. Close to the best grade this coin achieves. The coin is gorgeous for it's age. Trends for $1350.00 @ WWW.PCGS.COM...my price is less then 1/10 of that!!! Don't pass up this opportunity.

 

I've noticed everyone tells about coins and/or prices. My favorite stories are not necessarily lies. It's the people telling me there is no future in coin collecting. It's all a bunch of lies. There are no places you can sell a coin for more than face value. All coins are the same so a dime from 1960 is the same as all dimes from 1960. Only little kids collect coins and stamps and then they grow up. There is no such thing as a coin worth millions. Those are just stupid stories to sell magazines and papers.

 

coin truth stretching

I don't know if you would consider it a lie, but I always like actions that have something common that start out as...... NO RESERVE!!!! starting bid $25.00 and only $9.99 shipping. One of the bigger lies I've heard is ....you will not find this coin (set) cheaper absolutely any where else, then the first place you look it is much cheaper!!:computer:

 

Not a coin! But graded and authenticated by someone with bad eyesite and no knowledge of the item really is...



You knew it had to be SGS!

It's a Token not a Chip
It's manufactured by Global Minting not Chipco
Chip grading system not Medal grading system used
No way a 100

"SGS is a coin grading
company with the
highest standards of
quality and integrity. "

They lied about this when they attempted to grade Casino Chips/Tokens.
NO HIGH STANDARDS, NO QUALITY OR INTREGRITY USED!!! :bow:

 

yeah, SGS has to be one of the biggest lies in coin history

 

From a coin dealer near me: "I can only give you $5.85 for your silver eagle because you removed it from the mint packaging."

From the same coin dealer looking at my silver dollar collection: "You should clean them."

 

I told the biggest one I ever heard -

"I'm only going to spend (you fill in the blank) at the coin show this year."

 

"LOOK AT THIS SOOOOOOO LOW SN L@@K: 09541254"
"These pictures do this coin no justice."

 

lies

While They Last! A U Whissed Coins Only Tonight For $1000 . I Been Selling Coins Here For 18 Years

 

now that is the best one so far!

 

I assume that you don't do business with said coin dealer, or at least any more?

Yikes.

Let's be careful out there.

 

i saw some1 selling a metal detector for coins and some crazy guy bided us$999 and won it!!!!

 

Some from the auction site...


'Guaranteed authentic!'

'Uncirculated/Mint/FDC condition' When it's obviously something pulled from their change.

'Rare' That's why there are 50 others like it up for sale

'A Bargain'

 

I only have to think of Ebay and it brings up a hundred +.

 

I always think of everyone's aunt, uncle, cousin, grandfather, friend (insert anyone here) who supposedly had a real 1943 copper cent. It was usually either lost, stolen, spent, given away......you get the idea. I've heard way too many of these stories.

 

"We are seizing these 1933 double eagles because they were never monetized and rightfully belong to the American people."

 

It's more like the US Mint and the Dept of Treasury THINK the coins are illegal to own, thus they ENFORCE a made up law. I love it how they can write, decide, and make up laws affecting coin collecting.

The last time I read the US Constitution, the legislative branch WRITES the laws, President signs and enforces, and the Judiciary interprets.

DIRECTIVES from the Mint and Treasury are NOT laws. Only Congress can write laws.

But I'm not a legal scholar.
