<p>[QUOTE=&quot;pyro5074, post: 311948, member: 11599&quot;]<b>SGS Fraud</b></p><p><br /></p><p>i purchased a coin on e-bay that was graded by star grading service. the 1943 steel penny i received was graded at MS-70. when i called a few independent reputable dealers in the area and i had told them i had a graded MS-70 steel penny, they laughed, to which i went down to their shops and had explained to me that the coin at best was only a MS-63. and now knowing how a coin is graded, i concur with them. furthermore upon further research, i discovered that star grading service is a 5th tier or bottom tier grading service. buyer beware the seller on e-bay aboncom. all of his coins are “graded” by SGS and even looking at the pictures on the auctions, all of the coins for sale are ridiculously over graded. my advice is stick to a company who is reputable and i give a hand to e-bay to try and protect buyers, especially novice numismatists, in their purchasing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
