SGS Has Tough Standards When Grading

I was searching for a roll of 2005D Golden dollars on E-bay when I found this auction. It stated that "UP for auction, we have 1 ROLL (that's 20) MS D Uncirculated Sacagawea Dollars from 2005!!!! This roll is a great grouping of coins that we have that wont make SGS Grading Services TOUGH STANADARDS!!!! These coins would make a great addition to anyone's collection!!!". If they couldn't make SGS tough standards they must be dented but that still would make them MS69 wouldn't it.

They do have tough standards.

I'm thinking about submitting this coin, but I'm afraid they will only give it an ms-69, and therefore not slab it

 

The person that operates these auctions (aboncom) is the same person that own SGS grading company. Of coruse all his coins are high grade coins.

 

LMAO. That is awesome Roy. Amazing how you can say so much with so little.

 

"UP for auction, we have 1 ROLL (that's 20) MS D Uncirculated Sacagawea Dollars from 2005!!!!

Actually, a roll is 25, but why let facts get in the way of a scumbag sales pitch.

 

What about this guy --

is he for real? or just another SGS scam ??

 

sure looks that way to me... numismatic bureau of coins to avoid!

 

Have you seen his auctions? He apparently has millions of coins found by a metal detector (if you add up all his BS auctions)

And with a feedback of 98.1 with that many auctions, he has had a lot of unhappy people.

 

Well the other five must have "made the grade".

 

if you read his feedbacks you will see that even the "positives" arent very positive..

 

At lease the starting bid was low. POINT 99 cents.

Here is your chance to start bidding on this roll for just $.99 cents!!!!"

 

Now that Ah-Collectibles/ACG is old news, Aboncom/SGS provides some entertainment as eBay self-slabber whipping boy of the community of us U.S. coin collectors who watch eBay hype for kicks. My favorite feedback for this seller was posted 9/28/05 by eBayer danp8573; "MS 70 - means might see 70% of the coin with seeing eye dog. Grading Sucks!!!!!!" -- over a nickel which sold for $4.79 plus the juice. There were some interesting retaliatory negatives posted by this self-slabber, such as

OUCH! THIS GIRL CAN BARELY REACH THE COUNTER AT McDonalds! NOT A GRADER! DANGER!
