I think they're a bit of a 'Mickey Mouse' operation anyway. Website is underwhelming to say the least. life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved

APCGS,When they don't know what MS means they don't give a good impression nor does it give them credibility.
Back room or basement business IMO.

I imagine they are only a small newly formed "Micky Mouse" company, But in the beginning so were PCGS and NGC. Everyone has to start some where. I would imagine that the big TPG's sponsor this site and had the opposition "surgically" removed, Nip them in the bud so to speak. They certainly don't want any other competition taking some of their market share  I am willing to give them a go simply because everyone deserves a chance , the turn around and the costs are very attractive compared to the big TPG's. There is also the big factor of Australians grading Australian coins that I find appealing  |

a quick google search turned up no complaints about them, might be worth the risk of a few low value coins to find out

 The risks are low and the rewards could be great  To give the underdog a fair go is the Aussie way in MHO . I will be away from 30/11 to 20/12 but when I get back the coins should be waiting for me at the post office. The truth will be there either way it goes. I may be a bit long in the tooth but I still enjoy trying new ideas. |

Could be a connection as both are Port Macquarie based. The Gold and Coin shop has been there for years and I've personally bought a couple of floins from them. Don't know much else. Trout are you holidaying in your shed (mint) this year? If so we expect some good PMD's.  |

They have a motive to overgrade coins. They sell the coins they grade. They are absolutely no different to any other dealer in Australia who grades there coin and puts it in a 2x2. The vast majority of dealers in Aus would happily grade and value coins for a fee. The only difference is this company encapsulate their coins rather than a more traditional method such as a 2x2 or flip. For all you know I could be the owner of the company, fuelled up on a bottle of bundy giving away grades willy nilly whilst watching the cricket.
