sfitzernator Valued Member Australia 271 Posts	Posted 07/15/2014 06:42 am I'm with you, Shanew, and quite frankly, I couldn't give a stuff about the name. However, I'm sure that most forum members would like to see proof positive that this organisation is growing to become more accountable, and is taking steps to become more reputable, and I'm also sure that if this were the case, more forum members, and the "light" side of the numinastic community would be eager to support this mob. However, all we are seeing is suggestive innuendo. If the supporters/graders/owners are reading these posts, It's painfully clear what they need to do. Until that happens, they are by now, fully aware, of why there is opposition to their operations. Report this Post to the Staff

tassie devil New Member 13 Posts	Posted 07/16/2014 7:13 pm Blue sheet.. Macdonalds book...coin and banknote mag...auction houses... Are reference ... A high percentage of coin sold are not published so these reference don't know exact prices... E.g ...coin shows...private sales...Facebook pages.. So it's up to the buyer and seller what the price is... Report this Post to the Staff
tassie devil New Member 13 Posts	Posted 07/16/2014 7:21 pm And I know apcgs don't use Macdonalds book for valuation because I have had couple of coins valued and none of the valuation are any where near the Macdonalds book ... Eg 2007 missing mint mark dollar coin...double header 5c coin...and the list go on.. Report this Post to the Staff

ANNC would be a good name for them. Report this Post to the Staff

nealeffendi Pillar of the Community Australia 852 Posts	Posted 07/18/2014 02:52 am I keep hoping that a leopard will change its spots but PCGS still slabs coins that have been highly polished.I saw 5 absolute rubbish coins on ebay in their latest slab. They were so heavily polished that they wouldn't get a "cleaned" designation on the slab at a reputable TPG but would be bodybagged. Did I say PCGS? Sorry, but many APCGS coins are listed as A PCGS (the space makes those who search for PCGS also see the imposters). Horrible cleaned coins, copycat name, shonky eBayers using their "service". Does not inspire confidence. Report this Post to the Staff

I have looked at the items for sale on ebay and the items that have ended and still can't see any. No good making up anything without proof, latest slab has a green label. It's like me saying I saw you last night running around topless in a skirt 4 times without any proof. Quote: it is a bit of a worry seeing APCGS uses the out of touch mac donalds guide to price coins , a bit like the blind following the blind I say Well I did notice they announced on facebook their upcoming events which was something along the line of August is the release date of the new website and also something about releasing a bluesheet in the near future for everyone to view for free.
