    I've heard tell that there are some Antarticans putting out FAKE SGS slabs! Seems these little penguins get bored and have decided to grade coins and put them in false SGS slabs.

    They ARE easy to spot though as none are MS69 or higher.


    OK already,

    IT'S A JOKE THREAD!

    A counterfeit sgs slab with a properly grade coin might be worth more than an original:D, it Couldn't be worth any less.;)

    Good point. MY SINCERE APOLOGIES TO ANY FLIGHTLESS BIRDS I MAY HAVE OFFENDED.




    Sorry about that Bruce but I figure graders at SGS, GEC etc can only count between 67 and 70. Not that big of a difference. :)

    Yes, you better apologize.

    You don't want to offend the penguin on the tele and you REALLY don't want to offend the GIANT ELECTRIC PENGUIN, from Scott of the Antarctic !

    Director: "GREEEEEEAT !! Ack, it's fantastic !"

    Mr Scott: "But, I've GOT to fight the lion !"

    Sick reasoning for silly thread

    Look at it this way foks. We're seeing threads about fake PCGS, NGC and ANACS holders right?
    Now, SGS has been trying to pass itself off as a legitimate TPG soooo.... what better way than for someone to try and counterfeit your work?


    As for you Roto.

    Paint the sand yellow again!
