<p>[QUOTE=&quot;yakpoo, post: 840372, member: 18157&quot;]Most CT folks I&#039;ve heard from don&#039;t like GSC. Among other things, they say GSC &quot;juices&quot; their photos. I&#039;ve bought some really nice coins from them a few years ago. For instance, I bought a raw 1860 &quot;Pointed Bust&quot; IHP from them for less than $500 and it graded PCGS MS64BN.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Perhaps I just look past the coins I don&#039;t like...the ones I&#039;ve bought have been exactly as expected. I buy from GSC very rarely now...a lotta people track their auctions and it&#039;s tough to snag a deal. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>My last purchase was a 1909 Liberty nickel. I was hoping it would grade MS64 and it came back MS63...that&#039;s my only &quot;bad&quot; experience if you want to call it that. Lately, the grades they claim seem about one (1) grade too high (imo).</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If they say &quot;Gem&quot;, it&#039;s likely MS64</p><p>If they say &quot;Near Gem: it&#039;s likely MS63...and so forth.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>You just need to get used to that and bid accordingly.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
