<p>[QUOTE=&quot;keh, post: 139058, member: 5238&quot;]I bought an SGS slabbed &#039;79 S Morgan from Aboncom (before I knew better) that was &quot;graded&quot; at MS67 PL. I am too embarrassed to say how much I paid for it but lets just say it was in the low MS66 range. I got the coin in the mail and it was nowhere near MS67. However, it was a very, very nice MS64. It was blast white, no toning, and very frosty. Had I paid $50 for it I would have been very happy. Of course, as soon as I saw it I promptly returned it. The other problem with it is that it could have been cleaned/altered. I posted a pic here and someone was of the opinion that it was cleaned.

As previously stated, it puts money in these crooks hands 2.) You can&#039;t assume that because its slabbed an MS67 it must at least be a MS65 or even 64. I&#039;ve seen slabbed MS67 coins that look like EF45. Fact is, these guys will put any coin in one of their slabs and call it a perfect coin. Also, they don&#039;t do any sort of authentication. You really don&#039;t know anything more about the coin than if it were raw. It could be fake, cleaned, or otherwise altered.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
