<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ziggy29, post: 17762, member: 1113&quot;]I think any new service faces an uphill but not insurmountable battle in gaining acceptance and credibility.&nbsp; The best way they can gain credibility is to be both consistent and in tune with market standards.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Too many of the new services try to get submissions by offering low prices (too low to pay for the best graders and authenticators) and/or giving out inflated grades (compared to what the market accepts).&nbsp; Less than totally honest dealers and eBay sellers will hope to get an MS-68 from &quot;Bob&#039;s Coin Grading Service&quot; (BCGS) and hope to land the sucker who will pay MS-68 -- or even MS-66 -- money for the coin instead of sending it to a respected third-party grading service where it might come back, say, MS-64.</p><p><br /></p><p>You mostly see the hyper-graded fourth-tier slabs with modern coins, but they can be for any coin -- especially if they are &quot;problem coins&quot; that PCGS and NGC won&#039;t grade, and ANACS will net grade downward.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
