Message:: [QUOTE="davedawg, post: 325945, member: 9026"]I recently bought the 1982 7 coin Lincoln Cent series from SGS, as well as from many other sellers, just because I thought it would be nice to have with the 100th anniversary of the Lincoln cent series coming up. I am fully aware of SGS's grading......grading.......style? I don't know how to describe it but I knew I wasn't going to receive MS-70 coins even though that's what I bought, and that's fine, it was only $14 for the 7 coin "slabbed" series. And, as expected, the coins are AU at best (some of the reverses have the usual wear on the TES of STATES and there are even BLACK SPOTS on the OBVERSE!!!) Anyway, I think I know what the problem is, actually there's one of two possibilities, in my opinion: 1) A blind person is grading the coin using the brail system, or, what I think is the actual issue, 2) Their scale of grading actually goes up to 100, therefore making their MS-70 coins a C-  which makes more sense. I think I'll start my own grading company, anyone want in?[/QUOTE]
