<p>[QUOTE=&quot;samjimmy, post: 181291, member: 3813&quot;]Not something I would normally watch but hsn came up in the directory (some coin show) as I was scanning and I stopped to watch.&nbsp; But one thing caught my eye...</p><p><br /></p><p>So they are selling a ICG certified MS70 2007 ASE &quot;First Day of Issue&quot; ( I think they are even numbered #xx out of 1,490 or something like that).&nbsp; It&#039;s $79 plus $8 shipping, so we&#039;ll call it $88.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, I know rule #1... &quot;Don&#039;t buy anything from these people.&nbsp; Ever.&quot;</p><p>But... &quot;Ever.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>OK, I&#039;ll give you that, and I have huge problems with a MS-70 graded coin being more expensive than a MS-68/69 and anything even remotely similar to &quot;First Day of Issue&quot; or &quot;First Strike&quot; -etc.&nbsp; To be honest, I&#039;ll probably just put the coin on Ebay, or I might keep it, doesn&#039;t much matter to me.</p><p><br /></p><p>What caught my eye is this:&nbsp; Includes certification valid for 4 free coin gradings from ICG</p><p><br /></p><p>Of course they have different levels of grading, and the &quot;certificates&quot; might only be good for the $15 submissions, but if they&#039;ll look at ancients (I know they do, I just don&#039;t know what the certificate gets you exactly), I have three I&#039;d like to send in.&nbsp; Even 4 @ $15/submission (if that&#039;s all the certificate gets you) is $60 in grading, leaving the coin $28 which isn&#039;t terrible, though it&#039;s over $10 more than I would normally pay for a slabbed ASE (which is why I&#039;d still Ebay it most likely).</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyone know anythign about the HSN ICG certificates?&nbsp; Anyone used them before?&nbsp; Anyone now understand why I might actually buy this item?&nbsp; I&#039;ll call them, but I have a feeling they won&#039;t know the specifics on the certificates, and I figured they&#039;ve done this before and one of you might have gotten the certificates and know something about them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
