[QUOTE="Silver Striker, post: 39145, member: 1745"][center][img]http://home.comcast.net/~nhavens/sgscircirf.jpg[/img][/center] Read the slab insert and then read the token (silver strike). Why on earth a person / company that claims to be a grading service inspecting coins and tokens could ever make this type of GROSS ERROR leads me to believe that they only slab and GUESS a grade for the tokens and do NOT visually inspect them. If they do they must have the WORST eyesight ever and should NOT be grading anything! If SGS cannot see the lettering RENO, NEVADA on this silver strike they shouldn't be in the grading/slabbing/authenticating business at all. Next problem I have is that they are grading a token using a Casino Chip Grading scale that is not recognizied by anyone other than those who wrote the book with it in it and are changing their book to conform with the Casino Chips and Gaming Tokens Collectors Club recently endorsed grading scale. Casino Chips are TOTALLY different from Casino Tokens as chips are not made of full metal as are tokens. More fuel fire for the ongoing battle against SGS SLABS! Marv[/QUOTE]
