[QUOTE="Speedy, post: 114517, member: 705"]What was the coin??....I mean like Cent or dime etc....and what was the date? Now I don't like SGS...but they really are a grading co...just not a TPG---they will let other people send in coins to get graded....they do use other grades than PF/MS70 and they go by some set of grading guide...I don't know what one--- I know what you meant and I agree....but to be total right...they are. If your going to buy coins stay with: NGC/PCGS/ANACS and when you can grade better you might even want to look at ICG or PCI. I don't like ICG for the reasons stated above...the past President of ICG came out and said out of his own mouth that they tend to overgrade-- PCI isn't the best now but they used to be pretty good... As for UGS....sure you might see some good coins in them....and they might be cheaper...but please never send coins to them. If you ever need to sell you will only get 1/3 of the real value of your coin..... It is best to stay with the best even though they are higher. Every grading Co--good or not---has some good coins in their slabs....and you can find them IF YOU LOOK...but I would suggest that you never buy an off brand slab untill you #1 know how to grade....and #2 can see the coin IN HAND.
