<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Silver Striker, post: 39198, member: 1745&quot;]Morgan,</p><p><br /></p><p>I understand where you&#039;re coming from with the legal problems of going after SGS.</p><p><br /></p><p>However, I&#039;ll pose the question here I posted on e-Bay within a thread there regarding SGS&#039;s Certificate of Authenticity.</p><p><br /></p><p>I refer back to this token.</p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://home.comcast.net/~nhavens/sgscircirf.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Here is the COA that accompanied it.</p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://home.comcast.net/~nhavens/sgscoa.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s and interesting Silver Strike which is an authentic error pictured on the left on the right is the correct version.</p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://home.comcast.net/~sptokens/ccerror.gif" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Look at the clowns they are different.&nbsp; The Reno Circus Clown is the one shown on the Left as is the one in the first picture.&nbsp; While watching ABONCOM&#039;s auction I was hoping a newbie collector wouldn&#039;t&nbsp; mistake it as the Las Vegas Circus Circus Clown error which is quite expensive today.&nbsp; I acutally sniped the auction to keep this slab out or our silver strike hobby.&nbsp; The token is worth approximately $12 - $15.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>My question is regarding the COA?&nbsp; What if in some future date this token were to have sold for $1000 +, would SGS by their own statements on the COA &quot;Certifies the authenticity of this gambling token for the full purchase price for the life of the gambling token&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>Is SGS liable for that purchase price if the seller were to refuse to make a refund on the basis that the token is not AUTHENTICALLY a Las Vegas, Nevada Circus Circus silver strike?</p><p><br /></p><p>They have authenticated this silver strike as being from the Las Vegas&nbsp; Circus Circus and it&#039;s NOT.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now ABONCOM in their auction did NOT make this guarantee, SGS does with their COA.&nbsp; The COA does NOT state that it is NOT transferrable and I wish to note there are other auctions which are not ABONCOM&#039;s that are selling the slabbed coins along with the SGS COA&#039;s.</p><p><br /></p><p>SGS just recently came to the market with slabbed/graded/authenticated casino silver strikes and tokens.&nbsp; I would expect some problems, but not such obvious ones of this nature.&nbsp; I hope to enlighten new collectors of coins and tokens alike that this seller/slabber should be avoided at all costs.</p><p><br /></p><p>THEIR EYESIGHT IS SO BAD THEY CAN&#039;T EVEN READ WHAT&#039;S WRITTEN ON THE ITEMS THEY ARE SLABBING.&nbsp; WITH EYESIGHT LIKE THIS NO WONDER ALL THEIR COINS GRADE AS 70&#039;S!</p><p><br /></p><p>Regarding their COA&#039;s and ABONCOM, I&#039;ll start another topic. It&#039;s regarding their ability to bait and switch.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
