Numistic Grading Standards???

Has anyone ever heard of "NUMISTIC GRADING STANDARDS"? Anyone know who "Buren" is?

This is his entire description. Aside from the fact the his auction will be pulled (grade in the title), he might have better luck selling if it were not so obvious thaqt he has not idea what he is talking about.

AJ, I think you lost someone along the way.

 

According to his slab, it was graded with:

"Authentic Grading System
In Compliance With
N.G.C.
Standards"​

I saw that. I was wondering if NGC could sue him, but it is probably not worth their effort.

 

i dont get old?

 

Thanks for the morning joke! That is a treasure. It looks like he took Martian's photo through the hubble telescope. And when did they start making them things out of gold? I've been giving them to the pizza guy for tips. (Bill Bixby was in it too and I aint old)

 

"MARTIAN VAN BUREN "

I was going through about 20 pounds of wheat cents I had purchased, when I found an AU 1953 with complete doubling of "Liberty" visible to the naked eye. I sent it in to PCGS and it was returned 1953 Lincoln BN AU55.
They totally missed the doubling! I'm not sure what do with it, but you can bet I'll call them Monday!
Even the so-called "shifty" services banned from Ebay would have caught that. Do they hire disabled blind people or mentally handicapped? They certainly don't use professionals and I do not believe three people looked at it.
Nothing against disabled people, as I employed one when I had my store and believe in hiring them, but how the ______, could they miss that?

I think, and correct me if I am wrong, that you have to point the abnormality out to the TPG service and then pay an extra fee to have it labled as such. If memory serves, someone in another thread (can't remember which one) made that point.

 

they employ people who have gold in thier eyes and if dont have gold on you then ..... :whistle:
