John Stassins who runs a couple of coin shows in Connecticut asked me to run a note by the currency collectors who may know more than he does,...
This coin show has been held since around 1960, currently held at the Westchester County center: http://www.countycenter.biz/ It will run through...
I was just looking at the ICG grading guarantee: http://www.icgcoin.com/about/guarantee/ What is the consensus on the ICG grading standards?...
I doubt he would survive very long on any coin forum, as he has apparently survived on ebay for quite a while.
Thanks for sharing, and too bad that was one heck of a trip!! You spent all that money, time away from work, etc., and what did you honestly get...
I was at a show where a dealer had a coin in an old PCGS holder he tried to upgrade with the cac sticker on it, when he sold me the coin he gave...

Or he'll start threatening people in which case they'll put him in a padded room somewhere.
These guess the grades should run 24 hours max. IMO. Else, people forget about the subject, etc., I can become like a bad joke. Not much price...
It looks like they have a guarantee, for what it's worth: GUARANTEE “Resubmitting for Verification of Grade” "If after SEGS has graded a coin,...
As you can see he has put another note on ebay every day or so with more of his critical commentary.
Larry Briggs of SEGS is quite knowledgeable, but if you ask around on their grading standards, you will not get the same confidence as with NGC...
OK; people send in their coins to get graded. The grading service gives an option that if you want to share the results with the coin community...
Excellent report! And thanks for letting us put a face to the internet names, now I realize I did business with Bill Jones without knowing it.
Thanks for the report! Still waiting on Charmy's, wonder if it was as good as it was for her last year....
PCGS offers this option, obviously NGC does not, don't know why exactly. One order looked interesting shared, very high end: Line #Item #Cert...
