My opinion ... run away fast and do not look back!  SGS is the definition of a basement slabber ... probably a few guys in an unheated garage throwing together pieces of plastic with their own lousy inventory. Buyer Beware! David |

Since we're talking about graders outside the big three, what do you guys think about NAC ? I have an MS70 ASE that I got for $20 awhile back, really wondering just how accurate their grades are? |

Didn't think it was anything special, I wasn't able to find any on ebay and that alone gave me the hint. At least I got it cheap! |

SGS -
A guy who had a crash course in grading, then just said "screw it", and now justs put MS70 on everything.

I wouldnt even trust sgs for authentication, though there are a handful of services outside of ANACS, PCGS, and NGC that may be useful for cheap authentication ICG and DGS (though now defunct) come to mind

I have a 1960 cent large date by the same third party grading service certified as MS70 also! It cracks me up because I know for a fact that it isn't a 70 by far.

SGS seems to have a rather tawdry reputation, good enough for them to go into politics and/or banking, where the REAL money is. Another interpretation of their initials: Sloppily Graded S....

I also have no issues with ICG. ICG is a legitimate TPG. Why do you have "issues" with them? IMO they are the #4 grading service. I own quite a few ICG Lincoln slabs and they are accurate. I've also discussed ICG with many dealers and they like them too. Lincoln Cent Lover!VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/
