Is ICG really as bad as many people say?

they lost in court for giving inflated grades

to insured koins.. Recent koins are not a concern for me... That being said, I got the following at an excellant price.. While I doubt that it is really ms-68, it has a special place in my collection.. Who knows, might be accurate grade

who they, what court, what case?

 

What's a koin?

 

None of the slabs stack particularly well. I have coins all over my house. “Slabs to the left of me; slabs to the right of me. Slabs, slabs, slabs.” My wall built in safe inside my steel-reinforced closet is huge, and overflowing. Thus, no matter how they are designed, slabs are all over the place. I am convinced that slabs procreate, and give birth to other slabs.

 

Lol, for long term storage you need the boxes, but it is hilarious that you are swimming in slabbed coins.

 

I love it, but my wife is nowhere near as passionate with the ever increasing onslaught of slabs.

 

Slabs of bacon stack well in the freezer!

 

research them. https://www.icgcoin.com/ https://www.icgcoin.com/about/ https://www.icgcoin.com/about/the-team/
before I bough my coins graded by ICG this is what I did, I know asking around helps a lot but doing some research will give you what your after. it did me anyway. good luck

 

That is what I do, anyway.

 

This might be your finest post ever!

LOL, Not in my opinion.

 

@KoinKorgi there’s a typo in your username ;-)

 

Never saw this post; which one of the 3 do you think got this one right?

 

I have twice as many ICG slabbed and graded coins than I do the big P.

I admit 90% of my slabs NGC but I have almost as many ICG and ANACs slabs as PCGS.. To me company doesn't matter it is the Coin and the price.. Of course PCGS carries a higher premium for the same coin.. but I don't willingly "sell" coins, so the brand of plastic means little to me

 

Never questioned any of my ICG graded slabs, but I only own several...on the other hand I have a bunch of NGC and PCGS which are very questionable. I have to say ANACS is notable for VAMs and varieties, but their grade designations are notoriously inaccurate in my opinion.

 

Just a guess, Jack, but I'll say the one in the middle.

 

I've gotten some great deals on ICG graded coins. I appreciate the snobbery that goes on with those believing you should only buy coins graded by the "Top 2"

 

I have sent some really cool coins to ICG- they do me well with low grade early copper. I also send them fakes including contemporary counterfeits for their educational/ counterfeit holders- only TPG I know who does that. And yes, they are outstanding with authentications.




@Maxfli yes, they got my 1797 S-139 right (the slab in the middle)!
