<p>[QUOTE="alaninuk, post: 623700, member: 19275"]I recently purchased some coins at a market here in London. The coins were graded by <b>INA(International Numismatic Association</b>) in Europe. I had never heard of them before, but upon further investigation I found that the company did exist from 1994 to 2003. The company specialized in grading US silver coins and some gold coins as well. They utilized premade holders from several companies. Grading was considered to be moderate at best, and the company succumbed to the market because they did not guarantee the grade or authenticity of the coins that they graded. They were also linked to some Chinese made US coins as well which also probably caused their demise. A local coin dealer here told me about them because he had been stuck in the past with some of their coins. Wanted to post in case someone else comes across coins graded by this company! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />:headbang:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
