I think jojax22 is going to lose his perfect feedback score pretty quickly as soon as somebody cracks out one of these MS-66s and submits it to NGC or PCGS. I also wonder if he is in cahoots with shadowzen66; every coin listed by jojax22 is slabbed by GGC as are those by shadowzen66.

Frightening followup- both shadowzen66 and jojax22 are still out there selling MS67s and 68s from "gallery grading company".
jojax is now a "powerseller", with 99.6% pos FB, even though he gets FB like this;
Cin appears to be over graded!!!
It gets mutually withdrawn, or this:
"coin grading far too optimistic", his one remaining neg.
Shadowzen;
"Great Seller!! Bad Grading Company- I Pd. over $36. & coin's worth .50"
and
" Coin was not MS67",
both of which were left as positive FB.
he has a few more negs such as this:
TERRIBLE BUY SELLER LIED ABOUT THE QUALITY! SAID MS66 ACTUALLY IT WAS A MS62!
In addition, now "Gallery grading company" is all over overstock, with multiple listings of coins (funny all 8 of their current listings are MS 66!, all the frankies are FBL)
check it out:
http://auctions.overstock.com/cgi-b...CTID=2616994
My favorite lines from their blurb are:
THE FUTURE OF GRADING COMPANIES HAS FINALLY ARRIVED
and the coup de grace:
ALWAYS REMIND THE CUSTOMER THAT GRADING IS OBJECTIVE, AND AN OPINION, SO BUY THE COIN, NOT THE HOLDER
I think they mean to say that grading is subjective.
Oh well, at least I have a great place to rant, and now with dual piilars of the community!

Here's their whole Credo.......
THE FUTURE OF GRADING COMPANIES HAS FINALLY ARRIVED. A SIMPLE RULE OF THUMB IS WHAT WE HAD IN MIND., (1) LISTEN TO THE CUSTOMERS,AND OFFER SERVICES AT A PRICE THE AVERAGE COLLECTOR CAN AFFORD. (2) MAKE YOURSELF ACCESSIBLE. (3) SEARCH HIGH AND LOW FOR TOP GRADE ITEMS, AND OFFER THEM AT PENNIES ON A DOLLAR. (4) OFFER THE SAME SERVICES AND PRICING FOR THE CUSTOMERS( NO MATTER HOW MANY ITEMS ARE SUBMITTED). (5) HAVE 48 HOUR TURNAROUND AT NO EXTRA COST.(6) HAVE A FACILITY THAT IS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC . (7) ALWAYS REMIND THE CUSTOMER THAT GRADING IS OBJECTIVE, AND AN OPINION, SO BUY THE COIN, NOT THE HOLDER. (8) CLOSE EVERY TRANSACTION WITH THANKS FOR YOUR PURCHASE.(9) BECAUSE GRADING IS OBJECTIVE, OFFER A 7 DAY RETURN POLICY, IF IT DOESNT MEET YOUR OPINION. THANKS A MILLION YAHOO MEMBERS, WE LOVE YOU , COME BACK ANYTIME. Coin prices are derived from Coinuniverse when possible. They have a solid reputation for their efforts on up to date prices for United States coins. The website can be reviewed at www.pcgs.com . At times prices will not be available from coinuniverse, so we will refer to Greysheet and Redbook of United States coins. If no value can be found, we will only list authenticity and our grading opinion. We have chosen these three sources due to the paramount reputation as leaders in the coin industry. Gallery Grading co. Is registered with the state of Missouri #19014597 , Our facilty is over 31000 square ft. making us one of the larger coin organizations in the country. Submissions can be made by mail, or in person (Thursday-Saturday) 11-4 at Gallery Grading Co, 400 Main St. New Madrid Mo 63869 United States. Or visit us online.  How?

Sent this morning to Shadowzen66 and jojax22:
Is Gallery Grading at all affiliated with the ANA? Are they even recognized by the ANA? Or is this some "company" grading and slabbing coins in a basement somewhere? What are the qualifications of the "graders"? Your feedback stating "overgrading" should be listened to. Ebay should not allow these coins to be considered "certified". Anybody can buy generic "slabs" and throw a label on it. You should be ashamed. Hopefully your time with eBay will be short. How well do you sleep at night????

What a ripoff. Gallery coins is definitely living up to its rule of thumb of listening to what the customer wants and needs: high grade coins at a low price. This translates into the spiritual essence of "something for nothing", the guiding principle of con artists everywhere, especially on eBay and with certain eBay sellers.

I got a response to my email [:0]
Thanks for your email. You can go to their website and maybe they can help. www.gallerycoins.com I have been very happy with them.
Kind of looks like a canned response. Think they get other emails like that?
