[QUOTE="clembo, post: 301183, member: 8033"]As a well known lover of SGS (NOT!) here's a continuation of their overgrading tendencies. [url]http://auctions.overstock.com/1928-A-1-00-SILVER-CERTIFICATE-SGS-GRADED-AU-FR1601/Coins/item/43291957[/url] Now bear in mind that currency is VERY difficult to grade without note in hand but here's what I see. Rounded corners and a nice horizontal crease that's most visible through the ONE on the obverse. Wouldn't be surprised if that crease "breaks" the paper if you get a good look at it. Way too heavy to grade AU. Maybe XF or possibly lower. More SGS garbage from Abon the amazing self slabbers! Now for the record it does look a decent note - just horribly over graded.[/QUOTE]
