[QUOTE="jeankay, post: 366511, member: 12159"]I gotta admit that I purchased a few items from SGS. One was a 1935d buffalo nickel which they graded at MS69... I really do not believe the coin is that nice. This SGS auctions and coin sales are all over ebay and other places. For the most part I think of their auctions as being more Business Uncirculated coins than perfect (MS70)' coins. My last batch was the complete 2004 mint uncirculated set of statehood quarters. The coins had marks as if they had been living in bags before landing at the SGS place. This time my feedback was on the 'neutral' side, with my comment being that the coins they are selling are in no way perfect even though they advertise most all of them as being perfect MS70. Not only that, somewhere in the process they decided to use only UPS, and we all know that if is quite expensive. It turned out the delivery cost would have been more than the cost of the coins. I managed to stick to my guns and had them mail usps priority. All we can do is be very cautious when buying coins... and remember which sellers were a bit on the shady side so we don't make the same mistake again and again. jeankay[/QUOTE]
