<p>[QUOTE=&quot;satootoko, post: 23206, member: 669&quot;]Welcome to the forum Rich.&nbsp; I sincerely hope you got extra super-dooper bargains on those coins, because I don&#039;t believe that <i>any</i> of the major grading companies would come close to the grades on your AGS slabs.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.allcertifiedcoins.com/coins_slabcompanies.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.allcertifiedcoins.com/coins_slabcompanies.html" rel="nofollow">This respected website</a> provides detailed information on almost two dozen grading companies, from the generally recognized “top four”, all the way to the consensus worst (which we don’t name in polite company).&nbsp; Here’s their information on AGS:</p><p>Chances are very high that this &quot;grading company&quot; is just a ploy by some seller to convince collectors that his/her coins have been graded by a third party.&nbsp; A company that really wants business gets the word out on how to contact it!</p><p><br /></p><p>I’m far from being the resident expert on Morgan Dollars, but IMHO that cheek rub on the “MS66&quot; would keep it at a significantly lower grade in a major company’s slab, and the other one doesn’t come close to what I&#039;ll call for lack of a better term, the “very high grade look”.</p><p><br /></p><p>Believe it or not Rich, sad to say I&#039;m being much more gentle than I would if your question and pictures had been posted by one of the excellent dealers who belong to this forum. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
