Has anyone heard of or dealt with a company named Gong Bo or Gongbo?
A friend bought a Vietnamese coin in a slab graded and authenticated by this organization. I know nothing about them, think they are Chinese.

Any help would be appreciated.

Asian authentication and grading? Run by the Chinese? Save your money and just trust that that Chinese counterfeit is authentic unless paying a few bucks for a piece of paper that tells you it is makes you feel better.

@Westwood Arms - Never heard that company. They use PCGS & NGC also.

@nfine - Maybe it's used to authenticate counterfeits. They you want to make sure fakes are fakes? It would be a shame to have authentic coins in fake slabs.

Funny, Coconutjoe, we both think this company is going to do the same thing, authenticate counterfeits.
