Tru grade, never heard of them til just now. Those coins are remarkably unremarkable

This is the site I got the information

 

now if you could just get that coveted FBL at the end of each label ...

 

It is clear to see the nicest coins are in the NGC, PCGS, and the IGC holders.

 

I agree based upon what little we can tell from that scan... but the photo is inconclusive.

 

I agree. btw that ANACS half is ugly.

 

I know that this would cost a lot of money, for no good reason, but has anyone submitted the same coin to differnent companies to see what the difference would be?

 

Yes it has been done many many times.

 

Thanks for the pics edduns... I'll stick to PCGS NGC ICG

 

HMMMM. I wonder if there will be an end to new grading services when there is no more new letters to be used.

 

trugrade is one of the lower level services.

however, the others?
How do you rank ANACS with them?

 

under PCGS and NGC

but on the same level as ICG

so not bad or anything, they also grade cleaned coins if you want.
