I will slowly be posting some of my coins and/or new purchases. I just got this in the mail today. $2 1/2 Indians are my main area of collecting, and I like ones in unique holders. I like old anacs, PCGS, NGC, etc. I think this is the first Accugrade I've owned. They have a weird way of grading, but it appears to be a pretty nice coin.

Yeah, Accugrade was not so accurate. Their grading attempted to be "unique" so comparisons were difficult. I do like your Indian!

But the disclaimer is perfectly clear

Nice coin in a very interesting holder. It definitely would have captured my interest.

I THINK they are saying full strike, dull or cleaned surface (though I disagree with that part).

There's a more or less basement TPG "ACG" that plays off the old Accugrade name.

Old school Accugrade actually had a decent reputation, if I remember correctly, at least as good as ANACS Photo Certification.
