    Which ones suck the most?
    I think ICG is and DGS closed up shop.

    So what companies should be avoided?
    The International Numismatic Bureau?

    Actually avoiding this question would be the best answer. I've witnessed (not part of) a defamation of character lawsuit due to negative comments regarding a grading company.

    Why do you think ICG is the worst?

    Are you stating for a fact that DGS was a bad grading company?
    What evidence do you have to support your announcement in this forum?

    DGS / Dominion Grading Service has closed up shop. Check their website.

    Yes, I am well aware of their closing. So does that make them a bad or the worst grading company as the OP indicated?

    Probably none!

    Since DGS is no longer a " Company " it makes no difference.

    What does make a difference is whether the OP is stating fact from personal experiences or is he just repeating what other people have claimed with no basis in fact.

    Oh really? Their graded slab coins are still available for purchase. Just like you can still find PCI slabbed coins.

    If it takes more than 30 days to get your coins back, then that company stinks, JMO...

    I only buy PCGS and NGC. I do this because I'm pretty new to the hobby and don't want to get burned.

    Dgs wasn't bad I would probably rank them right next to the new Anacs, I just didn't like the slab stickers. Though on the contrary I will buy the Old Hallmark slabs. (pre PCI) for those that never heard of them. But I personally will buy any slab because I buy the COIN not the plastic

    most people here will say ngc or pcgs are the best and others are less. I dont slab so i dont have an opinion. But i have bought slabs with coins that in my opinion are the grade that is printed even though i dont look at that. I wld wait for someone who slabs for a better opinion tho
