<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ERROR HUNTER, post: 770862, member: 21857&quot;]<b>SGS coin grading&nbsp; exposed</b></p><p><br /></p><p>This thread is on the scam of the star grading service or SGS for short.If you visit their homepage you can see the sentence&quot;A coin grading company specializing in grades 60 to 70, both Proof and MS&quot; Which means they only assign the grades 60 to 70.If you submit a bill they say&quot;Bills which receive UNC (60) or above will receive letter and number grades, and below that bills WILL be designated as either AU (Almost Uncirculated), FN (Fine), or GD (Good).A few months ago i submitted a 1936 quarter to PCGS and it was assigned MS-62.Then I submitted the same coin to SGS and it came back MS-70 proof.:bigeyes:I looked at the coin itself&nbsp; and it has 8 scratches and no reflective surface what so ever and even a fngerprint.I contacted the company and they sent an email saying &quot;&nbsp; Proof coins - 1936 &amp; forward and MS Uncirculated coins</p><p>Only coins reaching grades of 60 to 70 will be graded.</p><p>All others will be simply returned or certified.</p><p>Please do not ship coins without an authorization number.</p><p>All coins shipped without an authorization number will be returned.SO NEVER BUY OR SUBMIT ANY SGS COINS EXCEPT THE RARITY OF THE COIN ITS SELF.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>FOR MORE GO TO:<a href="http://coins.about.com/od/coinbuyingadvice/qt/ebay_coin_fraud.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://coins.about.com/od/coinbuyingadvice/qt/ebay_coin_fraud.htm" rel="nofollow">http://coins.about.com/od/coinbuyingadvice/qt/ebay_coin_fraud.htm</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
