<p>[QUOTE=&quot;pumpkinpie, post: 1502843, member: 34244&quot;]SGS is not an actual grading company, but a person or group of people who take coins and put them in their own holders, with ridiculously high grades (MS70 99.9% of the time). Legitimate grading companies put coins in sealed holders which do not open up without breaking the holder. SGS holders are not sealed, and therefore can be opened easily. Whenever buying a graded coin, coins graded by PCGS (Professional Coin Grading Service), NGC (Numismatic Guaranty Corporation), ANACS (American Numismatic Associaton Certification Services), and ICG (Independent Coin Graders) are fine, any others should be considered a raw (ungraded) coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
