[QUOTE="Midas, post: 65573, member: 2761"]But there lies the problem as one TPG's version of MS63 is NOT the same as the next TPG, or even graders that work within the same facility! SGS is no more a grading service than you or I writing MS70 on a stapled 2x2. They are owned and operated by the eBay powerseller Aboncom, who preys on newbies selling their "America's Grading Company" garbage. Want to have some fun? Send an eBay email to recent winners of Aboncom's auctions telling the winner that the "certified" coin they won has been "certified" by the very seller running this auction. Boy did I ruffle some feathers, but the more the word is out, the better for the hobby. Send something like this: "FYI...the coin you won has been certified by the same people that are selling this coin. There is nothing '3rd partied' about this as both SGS and Aboncom are owned and operated by the SAME principles. Don't believe me? Google SGS Coin and find out for yourself. Good luck."[/QUOTE]
