<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Just Carl, post: 719165, member: 4552&quot;]If you go to Google and type in coin grading services, there are 158,000 entrees. No not all that many grading services, but close to 100 of them. There is also a grading service grading service listed that grades grading services. (I wonder who grades them?) </p><p>Not long ago if a coin was in a PCGS or NGC slab, everyone thought you couldn&#039;t beat that for accuracy and authenticity. Today some countries are counterfeiting thoes slabs as well as the coins in them. As already noted here&nbsp; a coin sent to one grading service was noted as fake by another. That too happened to someone I know only in reverse. Originally claimed as fake then accepted by another. I&#039;ve seen slabs opened and a completely different coin put in mostly as a joke and you could not tell it had been opened. </p><p>The moral of this is that it still is safer to assume the top grading services are OK but then too, they are only companies made of people.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
