<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Midas, post: 149985, member: 2761&quot;]This is for some of our newer folks here...</p><p><br /></p><p>Aboncom (ebay seller) owns, has owned, and/or has a vested interest in Star Grading Service (SGS) which is located literally down the road in central Ohio from where Abon is located.&nbsp; They are <u>not</u> a 3rd parted grading service.&nbsp; All they are is a seller that takes their OWN coins and packages and markets them in their OWN slabs for the purpose of duping new collectors.</p><p><br /></p><p>The vast majority of their packaging is either MS70 or PR70 coins (don&#039;t forget the gold tape!) but lately, they have moved into other areas like Morgans.&nbsp; So don&#039;t be surprised to see some ridulous Morgans graded as MS68 or 67 for dates that the likes of PCGS or NGC doesn&#039;t even have in their POP reports.&nbsp; Many buyers have been suckered into buing their coins thinking, well maybe it is a MS65...well guess what?&nbsp; Many buyers have reported these Morgans to be no better than MS63 with a few cleaned AU&#039;s alone the way!</p><p><br /></p><p>Face it, what they do is is like advertising a manufactured home as a mansion, or as I like to call it, <b><span style="color: Red">&quot;putting lipstick on a pig&quot;</span></b>, all to make their listing <i>appear</i> legit so it drives up bid/auction prices...for THEIR pockets.</p><p><br /></p><p>So in a nut shell, when you see Star Grading Service or SGS &quot;graded&quot; coins...</p><p><br /></p><p><font size="6">RUN!</font>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
