The last coin I saw in one of their holders was what could have been the Charlton plate coin for a 1966 large beads dollar in an MS65 small beads holder. I wrote the "proprietor" of this establishment asking if he might be wrong. His reply was "go away dic- head". Thankfully ebay yanked it very soon after I wrote them. |

I have seen some pretty bad grading from this guy too (although the below seems to be close). I suspect they package their own coins and sell on ebay as opposed to people paying for them to grade private coins.  |

Hello D, contacted the person asking for an explanation about his claim that the coins have never been touched by human hands.  Here is his answer: I ware white cotton gloves when handling all coins in slab holders and 2x2 holders. Don  now we know.....why did I not think of that.... |

HHB, most of my PL or other coins from sets aren't touched by "human hands" (unless the mint employees did). I carefully cut the plastic or remove them from the package, and then drop them onto the 2X2 or whatever I am using. It's all sort of moot though, as the first thing ICCS, PCGS or any other grading service is going to do it pick the coin up with bare hands anyway.
The first slabber above lives fairly close to me. I'm not a big fan of the slabs, but I have gotten some good items from him in the past. I also have quite a few of the slabs he uses, but I don't have the software to make the labels. They are Chinese garbage, and I wonder how inert the plastic used in the slabs is. The second one, "NNC" is...shall we say...well known in numismatic circles, and we'll just leave it at that.

Well 1cent, I'll bet they're from the same firm that sold us their drywall. Sorry gang but I don't trust much from China any more. I was also burned on a few of those fakes. My favorite Canadians are the Wolfe coins. I have to get more. I picked up coins from Gander to Vancouver and I've always wondered about them. I'll start posting as soon as I figure out my new digital microscope. "I know nusssink" and inquiring minds want to know!

I thought ebay did not allow the grade to appear in the title unless certified by an authorized grading agency... Maybe it is different in Canada. |

I have just became a coin grader myself. I went out in the yard, started up the truck, parked on a dime, did a burnout on the dime, smacked it with a 20 pound maul while it was still hot from the burnout, went up the road, did 50 down the street and jammed the brakes on the coin and slid it up the road under the tire for approximately 30 feet, got out of the truck, picked up the coin, cut a clip off it,and doused it with vinegar. And this coin is going to be available in AU-50 Folfs. NNC  ROF HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA |
