<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Speedy, post: 198492, member: 705&quot;]First off---I don&#039;t think you can call it an insult....I have known Roy for a long time and he didn&#039;t mean it in such a way---on a online forum there are many times when someone will read a post the wrong way---you can say things joking and you can say things that when read one way can be taken a totaly other way.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>The question has been answered---none of the guys here would buy an ACCGS coin just because it was graded by them---we buy the COIN not the slab---if I walked up to a guy and he offered me a coin in an ACCGS slab I would first grade the coin myself....If I think the coin grades MS64 then I&#039;m only going to pay MS64.....as it has been said....ACCGS like alot of other grading companies is one of these fly-by-night grading compaines that over grade coins--if you want some good coins buy NGC/PCGS/ANACS/ICG and at times PCI graded coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now---if you know how to grade and can grade good, then I see no harm in buying coins graded by ACG or ACCGS or SGS or any of the other grading companies. </p><p><br /></p><p>I doubt that---what are you going by??? the grades on the holders??? </p><p>Alrightly lets look at it this way.</p><p>You have 2 Franklin Half Dollars---they are both 1950 and they are both graded PF66.</p><p>One is graded by NGC and the other is graded by ACCGS---now first off I would grade both coins myself--in most cases the coins graded by the fly by nights, ACCGS, will grade many points lower than the right grade....now a PF66 should sell for around $400-$500---but a PF62 might only sell for $100....now if they say that they will sell it to you for $200 you might say....</p><p><br /></p><p>But in all truth, you are not....you are paying full value and maybe much more for an overgraded coin---do you see my point....maybe I&#039;m not making my self clear.</p><p>There is 1 chance in 1,000,000,000.......... that you are going to get a coin for considerably less than market value because in most cases the people that are playing the market game know what they can get and who will bring them the best money.</p><p>Again---if you know how to grade--and I don&#039;t mean picking up the ANA Grading Guide and looking through it....but I mean really know how (I&#039;m still learning---it takes year of study---looking at thousands of coins..) then you might can get some good deals.</p><p><br /></p><p>Hope this helps</p><p><br /></p><p>Speedy[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
