[QUOTE="National dealer, post: 4945, member: 487"]Great job Jody. I have never before heard of this grading service. I took a few minutes to read through their website and found a few interesting facts. 1. They claim to do so well on Ebay. So does ACG. Not that Ebay is such a bad thing, but not a true market indicator. 2. They have a guaranteed selling and buying of their coins through their clubs. This would cause me to worry a little bit. Their statement that they are not in the collectibles market followed by their club members buying and selling seem a bit contradictory. I do however like the idea of grading both sides of the coin. This idea is not a new one, but still holds some preferrence with a lot of collectors. Looking at their record prices realized, doesn't do much for me either. They seem to fall right in line with market prices. Now I do not want to give the impression that they are a bad service as I have had no dealing with them. As far as I am aware, I have never seen a coin in their holder at any show or auction that my firm has ever attended. If mhinchley decides to crossover this particular coin into a PCGS holder, I would love to know the results. Now I do not believe that PCGS is the strictest in the industry, but their holders are the most liquid.[/QUOTE]
