WCG World Coin Grading Company

MC, it's gotta be a fly-by-night company which has already flown - I got a "server not found" window. Found it in a Google, but same thing. Guess maybe he didn't want to stick around to take the heat.

I'll try him later... probably much later in the day. Today is exam day for my ham radio students and this is gonna kill most of my day, numismatically.

the link works now, and the 30 day turnaround is about the norm for any TPG but the 50 dollars a coin with minimum of 10 coins is a little outrageous even if it were PCGS that would be high

Yeah, the link is working for me now.

I did a WhoIs search on worldcoingrading.com. It's a proxy domain from GoDaddy, but now WhoIs provides the URL for the secondary owner. WCG is registered by:

World Coin Grading
5715 Will Clayton # 2056
HUMBLE, Texas 77338

At least we have a jump-off point for further investigations. It might be a legitimate attempt as a grading company, but given the history of such companies, it's guilty until proven innocent. And there ain't no way I'm gonna blow away 500 bucks to find out for myself.
