Message:: [QUOTE="Richard01, post: 100198, member: 2700"]In regards to UGS, about a year ago, when they were Nugrade, they had a sale (or someone did) on ebay with slabbed misc coins selling off for $3 each in their slabs. I figured it was small risk, and bought 30 of them. While most of the coins were lower value coins, there were some nice S mint red cents from the 40's, a few great Eisenhower dollars in MS64 and even a really nice silver proof Eisenhower, in PR67. There were also a bunch of MS65 state quarters. All in all, I would say that there was not a single coin that was clearly 'misgraded'. I might have the opinion that a few were a grade high, and I though a couple had a shot at a grade higher. Frankly, about the same results I've gotten with any other grading company. So, I was thrilled at these coins for $3! I think that UGS is a legit company, trying to grade coins fairly and well. If I was spending hundreds would I buy UGS? Well, if I could see the coin and make my own assesment, sure I would. If I was going to sell it, would I crack it and sell raw or re-holder in PCGS or NGC? Of course. That's just the way the market works.[/QUOTE]
