"In the 10th anniversary of our functioning, with the assistance of the British firm European Coin Company and with the packing company ECC Poland we are introducing in the fall of 2006 grading in our country"
So as I thought, they started fairly recently.
"We employ experts in Polish, German and English-American grading".
"Grading price. Coin value $0,5-$750 = $14.50".
Anyway, on the site, they do not state what is eligible for grading and what is not..

I would assume then that they are commonly available there in Poland. I also saw under their grading link that they appear to have several different holograms. There seems to be some kind of an explanation for them but I don't have it figured out yet.
Could you drop me an email so we could discuss the possibility of you picking up some examples of this holder for me? You should be able to find my email address in my profile. Click my name above the avatar.

There seem to be no clear information about those 5 holograms.
Edit. The email keeps getting returned. Conder101, please try sending it..

since when is this thing even eligible for grading? Its a free country, you can open your own grading company and grade pants buttons, zippers, or spare plugs if you like too  |

Recently, I've noticed an influx of weird slabs over here. Till now, most of all graded coins were the local EEC/GCN (pictured above)and NGC or PCGS surfaced rarely. However, since about two weeks, lots of SGS appeared (all being MS70s of course) and these. I'd like to ask you, as you probably know, what grading companies are these?   |

DL20K, what are some respected slab holders in Poland? Also, where in Poland are you located?

The UNC and ANI slabs are quite prevalent on ebay. As far as I know, they are along the same lines as SGS. You can pop the holders open with your fingernail, usually.  |

Also, where in Poland are you located? North-West. Not where the grading is done  xshift, thanks for the information! |

So I guess your somewhere near Poznan? That's the only one I can remember right now from the north west. I only remember it since my mom's from there.

I'm 3 hours from Poznan, but I'd say that yes, you are correct, as it is the nearest large city!  |

{quote]I'd like to ask you, as you probably know, what grading companies are these? [/quote] In the first picture the first three and fifth ones are from ANI (American Numismatic Institute) a "fly-by-night" company that first showed up I think 8 months to a year ago. The third slab is a first generation slab from the company from before they started placing barcodes on the slab. Slab number four (and the third slab in the second picture) are from Hallmark Coin Grading Service (Not to be confused with Hallmark Currency Grading Service which was an early service from the mid 1970's, or HALLMARK which was a respected company that operated from 1988 to 1991.) This Hallmark was a self slabbing company on the same lines as SGS and almost as much of a joke. I can't tell for sure but it looks like possibly two different generations of holder. Slab six is UNC (United Numismatic Company or Certification I'm not sure which at the moment) UNC first showed up about a year and a half to two years ago. Another "fly-by-night" which I don't believe lasted too long. In the second picture the first slab apears to be INB (International Numismatic Bureau) Another "fly-by-night" from over a year ago. It is using a Coin World shell for its holder. The last one is still something of an enigma. I have seen several of these all with variations in the labels. The problem is the label design keeps changing slightly as do the initials and even the name the initials supposedly represents. I can't decide if it is one company that keeps altering their labels or three different companies with near identical holders and labels. (Which would almost certainly means they are connected in some way.) I did get an email from you on the 15th, sorry I haven't answered it yet. I'm always behind on correspondence, and I've been in the hospital for most of th past week with a sudden illness. (In fact I'm still in the hospital, but I've been able to tap into their switchboard network and get back on-line now.) |
