<p>[QUOTE="Ed Zak, post: 29703, member: 824"]I think the plot is as muddy as it can get. Let's call a spade a spade. This ebay seller is marketing his own "grading service" (I use that term loosely). He dangles MS70 and PR70 coins to newbies and sells them as professionally certified and graded. He is slabbing his own coins with gold foil tape and cheap plastic.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.allcertifiedcoins.com/coinpic2/sgsholder.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>His ads point out a printed "Certificate of Authenticity" which is nothing more than cheap green 24lb. paper. </p><p><br /></p><p>No serial numbers on the slab and no way of looking up coins in a registry. Shame on ebay for allowing this. When you sell a coin on ebay, you have to check off that the coin in question adhers to ANA standards, but this seller found a loop hole by using a 2nd company that he owns to "certify" them. Just freakin' terrible.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
