Looky here, another SGS appeared! http://cgi.ebay.com/100-SGS-GRADED-...yZ139805QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
Obviously these coins are Superior as graded by the Superior Grading Service. Let's look at the listing shall we? " Item Specifics - US Coins Certification: Certified Method of Manufacture: Business Strike Mint: San Francisco Condition: Uncirculated Material: Copper " ...and now. "WHEAT CENTS TO SILVER DIMES TO SILVER QUARTERS ARE IN THIS LOT." Silver is NOT copper the last time I checked a periodic table and it's been a LOOONG time. ...but wait, there's more! "ALL COINS WILL GRADE MS 70 OR PROOF 70" Accurately graded I'm sure. NOT!!!!! I could go on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on here. I suggest you bid. I'll be emailing the seller with some questions. How about all of you?
You know Roto I held off on saying that last night as I didn't want to insult a whole state. Don't worry big guy my brother lives near Columbus and I still talk to him on occasion. Perhaps we should set up a support group?
Well, I'm sure the owners of those companies are imigrants to Ohio that are trying to take advantage of all the hard working & honest folk around here.
I would not be surprised if the ebay powerseller Aboncom (who owns and operates SGS, directly or indirectly through some type of LLC) is involved in this...unless all of the "70" coins are making their way to central Ohio! Remember...SGS is NOTHING more than marketing and packaging for eBay powersellers like Aboncom in order to dupe newbies into shelling out hard earned money for coins that are no way near a "70" grade. Please DO NOT call them a grading service. Star Grading Service (SGS) is nothing more than "putting lipstick on a pig" and selling the pig!
That could very well be a good Idea? Someone with the right resources could start their own SGS company and turn it into a legit company. Then you could sue the other SGS company for selling an inferior product and undermining your legitimate SGS company? A guy can dream can't he?
It's been 6 days and no bids yet. Maybe someone should use the 'make an offer' tab and offer 1 or 2 cents each.
As far as I can tell, if someone did bid, you don't even know what coin you are getting till it arrives. You could end up whith a wheat cent in a cheesy plastic holder for yuor $6.00. You don't think he'd part with that franklin for $2.99 plus shipping. This auction also looks like a good way for the seller to lose his 100% feedback. If a knowlegabe person bought one and..surprise the coin isn't perfect.
