<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 142394, member: 112&quot;]There is a great deal about this case that cannot be found on the internet. It has however been written about extensively in the numismatic press ever since the suit was initiated. That&#039;s where you can find the information - the fatcs.</p><p><br /></p><p>No I do not know how much money was collected or how much was spent defending individuals - but yes I do know it was done. But I imagine one could find out if they cared to research the ANA finacial records. </p><p><br /></p><p>Thr reason that the ANA logo is found on the eBay site is because of the joint effort of eBay/ANA in the Coin Community Watch program. The purpose of that program is to help identify at least some of those who are selling counterfeits and fakes on eBay. It has nothing to do with any grading company. And even if the ANA did investigate SGS sales - there would be nothing that they or anyone else could do about it. Just like there was nothing they could do about ACG. For neither one of these companies are doing anything illegal - unethical, probably but that is up to each individual to decide - but illegal, no. So neither the ANA nor eBay will ever do anything to stop coins graded by <u>anybody</u> from being sold on eBay. And frankly, I see no reason why they should for it is not their purpose to police the numismatic community.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for you seeing nothing wrong with coins graded by ACG, that is your personal prerogative. It is possible that you may have a few of the coins that were correctly graded by the company, for as they say, even a blind squirrel finds an acorn now and then. But it is my personal opinion that that is unlikely. Of course I have been wrong before, and no doubt I will be again.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
