Alberstol New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 09/12/2012 6:17 pm So I recently bought two silver State Quarters (VA and WV) off ebay for about $10 including shipping (less than melt I guess). Only problem is now I actually have the two coins and I see that they are in SGS slabs and graded PF70 (lol). From what I've heard about SGS, might the two coins not actually be silver after all? I heard the guy does really shady stuff. And if the SGS slabs aren't really worth anything, should I just break them open to see if the coins are actually silver? Report this Post to the Staff

basebal21 Bedrock of the Community 13014 Posts	Posted 09/12/2012 7:51 pm Id break them open the SGS slab isn't worth anything. I havent heard about them saying non silver coins are silver, but they almost certainly arent 70s Quote: I thought SGS went out of business? How do you go out of business when its more than likely just a guy in his basement with a bunch of slabs Edited by basebal21 09/12/2012 7:52 pm Report this Post to the Staff
