[QUOTE="satootoko, post: 25171, member: 669"]Welcome to the forum CoinSwede. I'm not quite sure what your question is. You're asking whether "[b]IGC[/b]" is a trustworthy grading service, but the auction you refer to is offering "[b]ICG[/b]" graded coins, in ICG's distinctive green-labeled holders. [COLOR=blue]I[/COLOR]ndependent [COLOR=blue]C[/COLOR]oin [COLOR=blue]G[/COLOR]rading has its own website, and is generally considered one of the "top 4" TPGs. Their distinctive claim to fame is their use of Intercept Shield anti-tarnish/corrosion technology in their slabs. All I can say is that a Google search turned up multiple examples of ICG being identified as IGC, but I couldn't find anything to indicate that there really is a company with those initials. (Doesn't mean there isn't - just that I didn't find it in the first dozen or so Google hits that I checked out.) All that being said, I'm with you in being a little uncomfortable about finding that many PR70 DCamss being gathered in a single lot. Don't be.
