<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The Half Dime, post: 25259900, member: 153164&quot;]I am someone who would like to start my own coin grading service with its own slabs one day. The grading service would be called American Coin Services, and ACS graded coins would have some new things.</p><p><br /></p><p>First of all, any coins slabbed by me would simply be marked &quot;Sample&quot;; these are for test purposes only and do not have a numerical grade. Currently I have bought BCW slabs and some inserts, but when I can find a company to make custom slabs, I&#039;ll take advantage of it.</p><p><br /></p><p>I would have a 10-number system with a slash showing another number. Here is some info about the very first ACS slabbed coin:</p><p><br /></p><p>1942 Mercury Dime</p><p>0000000001 /1</p><p>Sample</p><p><br /></p><p>While the 1,000,000,001st coin would be:</p><p><br /></p><p>0000000001 /2</p><p><br /></p><p>I would have a Blue Label system where a coin must be on the high end of its grade, meaning amazing luster, incredible strike, and no wear.</p><p><br /></p><p>I also have a system with holographic stickers saying American Coin Services; they are typed with a typewriter, and the ink is worn off before applying as a way of preventing tampering. You can see who it was certified by, and know it&#039;s authentic. </p><p><br /></p><p>So, here&#039;s my questions:</p><p>What would your grading service be called?</p><p>Would you offer special services?</p><p>What would your slabs look like?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
