[QUOTE="clembo, post: 248835, member: 8033"]I can't say that I have ever owned an SGS slab. I honestly didn't know who they were until I saw a ton of MS68 Morgans on Overstock. I guess a good rule of thumb for ANY of these Garbage Grading Services is that if someone is selling a LOT of high end (as in MS67 -68) you can assume that they are HORRIBLY overgraded. I do own a few PCI slabs and really not disappointed. Actually sent a few in when a friend of mine was sending some stuff to them. I had them graded as follows. 1892 Columbian Exposition Half Dollar at MS64 1864 Small Motto and 1872 2 Cent Pieces at XF45. That's exactly what they came back as. PCI is knocked for inconsistency I guess I caught them on a good day as I feel these coins would cross over well. If I were to EVER buy an SGS coin or any of the other (hey I'm slabbing in my basement) slabs I would HAVE TO see the coin in person. It may happen some day but I don't see it really.[/QUOTE]
