<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ed Zak, post: 22346, member: 824&quot;]With recent talk about &quot;questionable&quot; graders like N.T.C., NuGrade, recent P.C.I. and others, <b>here&#039;s a reminder for those that shop on ebay and come across MS70 and PR70 coins from SGS</b> (Star Grading Services).&nbsp; Consider the following:</p><p><br /></p><p>According to the addresses of SGS and the ebay seller, Aboncom, they</p><p>are geographically close to one other in the same area of Ohio. There is NO phone listing for SGS and Aboncom has never denied they own SGS or are affiliated as one in the same.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you leave a negative for this seller, they will waggle their power seller position in your face. Never question the fact they may be selling their own graded coins. Ebay inexcusably believes that SGS is a 3rd party grading company which is no differant than NGC, PCGS, ICG, etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>Seller&#039;s address:</p><p><br /></p><p>Abon Enterprises (aka Aboncom)</p><p>115 Park Ave West</p><p>Mansfield, OH 44902</p><p><br /></p><p>SGS&#039;s address:</p><p><br /></p><p>Star Grading</p><p>1610 State Route 60 South</p><p>Ashland, Ohio 44805</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is a map of Ohio...they are down the road from each other!!</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.infoplease.com/atlas/state/ohio.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.infoplease.com/atlas/state/ohio.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.infoplease.com/atlas/state/ohio.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>*********</p><p><br /></p><p>Check out one of their recent <b>MS70</b> posts for this wartime <span style="color: gray"><b><span style="color: red">Jefferson Silver Nickel</span> </b></span> :</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;category=41088&amp;item=3938680947&amp;rd=1#ebayphotohosting" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;category=41088&amp;item=3938680947&amp;rd=1#ebayphotohosting" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;category=41088&amp;item=3938680947&amp;rd=1#ebayphotohosting</a></p><p><br /></p><p>If it walks like a duck, talks like a duck...</p><p><br /></p><p>Sure, ebay is claiming they want to clean up coin grading and all coins that are sold &quot;should&quot; represent ANA grading procedures, but I believe this seller is not ethical.&nbsp; Buyer beware...stick with the top four graders and deduct 3 to 7 points for the others. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie4" alt=":mad:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
