<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 2894412, member: 66"]Not much more to add about the company, they were active in 1986 and seem to have disappeared around 1988. Most of the pieces I have seen are registered to Whittman-Burke which isn't a good sign as that could potentially indicate a self slabber. I haven't tried the phone number on the back of the slab lately. Last time I did it went to the Eagle Creek Ranch. As far as the grades assigned, who knows. That was 1986, the only grading service using all 11 MS grades was PCGS, in fact there wasn't even a published grading standard for all of them just 60, 63, 65, 67, and 70. MS grades could still be pretty much anything you wanted them to be and one companies standards really couldn't be compared to that of another. (This is still true today otherwise coins graded at one firm would grade the same at another. Grading is subjective and there is no such thing as a "correct" grade.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
