AMERICAN ALLIANCE GRADING SERVICE (AACGS)- they are a company who do not grade coins for the general public. They do not have a website, address or phone number. They are "Self Slabbers" who certify their own coins, to be sold at a profit. From their known coins, they have a tendency to overgrade. They are not reccomended unless you can see the coin in hand to confirm it is accurately graded, not cleaned or damaged, and genuine.

 

why not just post a link to their website?

That way you don't have to plagerize someone else's work.

Here is the page the picture comes from and here is the page where that site lists all the grading companies that they reference, which I assume you would have plagerized one at a time.

It really is bad form to take someone else's work and claim it as your own.

there, I just gave them credit on the first post.

 

Lane Brunner (former ANA employee and 20 Cent expert) is working on a book of coin slabs. I have seen a very small portion of his collection of slabs. Some of them are VERY obscure.

 

thank you

 

He keeps you mods busy, huh?

 

Just noticed the nominated /TOTW/F/M awards under our avatars. Wow, we are all "0"s.

LOL, I like the randomness of the statement

Yeah, you just had to come back because you have numbers other than "0". This thread had a lot of "CoinPower" posters too. Nice work Stainless!

I think it is fitting. There should be no awards anywhere near this thread. If this thread were sent to AACGS, it would body bag (counterfeit).

 

lol...........

 

Bodybagged thread... lol

 

May we close this thread please. There is no need to add insult to injury.

 

Actually that's the part we seem to be enjoying

 

I can see that, but just remember your being watched, by greater forces, karma is a lovely deciding force...

 

It looks like all the thread of the week stuff got reset.

Yeah, it really would.

 

I'm impressed by the Coinauctions site, 88 companies. That's 6 more than I listed 5 years ago. I'm past the 150 company level. Still he does have a few companies in there that I DON'T have so I will have to get with them for permission to use some of their information.

So Lane is now doing a slab book as well. Man what have I started.
