[QUOTE="Silver Striker, post: 156048, member: 1745"]The reason I beleive them to be "SELF SLABBERS" is that there are NO pages on their website that offer YOU their grading services. No fees, no address, no phone numbers, no forms, ONLY an e-mail address link. Also their website domain was opened just last 27 May 2006 and paid for only a year. Either they don't expect to be around long or may be changing their name and domain neme next year. Also looking at the e-bay seller's feedback they started selling "GEC" coins big time last May as that is when the majority of their feedback began taking off. You gotta really love this statement (TERMS OF SERVICE) from their web site. [B][U][COLOR="Red"][SIZE="3"]Subjectivity: Coin grading is the subjective judgment and or opinion of the grader(s). Therefore, all parties agree that GEC Grading has made no warranty and shall have no liability to the customer for the grade assigned to any coin by an agent of GEC Grading. GEC does not guarantee the grade and authenticity of the coins it certifies and encapsulates in an GEC holder Any dispute under this Guarantee will be resolved by binding arbitration before a single arbitrator conducted at the home office of GEC Grading, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the American Arbitration Association. The grading of coins is an exercise of judgment and opinion, which can be subjective and may change from time to time. As a result, GEC shall assume no liability of any kind whatsoever and makes no warranties or representations to Customer for any grade assigned by GEC to any coins.[/SIZE][/COLOR][/U][/B] It is funny that the e-Bay seller offers a COA! There isn't one on GEC's web site. This could be a problem for the seller. How can they offer this COA if... 1. GEC didn't create it 2. It offers an authenticity when GEC's website states that they DON'T guarantee authenticity. [IMG]http://img100.imageshack.us/img100/570/coawf8.gif[/IMG] An interesting tidbit is that the e-Bay seller does NOT use "GEC" in any of their auction titles. It will be interesting to see where theis seller's feedback will be a year from now. OH WELL, buyer beware![/QUOTE]
