I have only seen their slabs used for the "waffle-cancelled" coins.

Given the impressive credentials of the three key personnel, GCI could be one of those rare wannabes which is actually making a serious attempt to compete with the biggies. More importantly, it appears to be honest in their grading. I hope they're well-funded for the long haul.

I have one of their slabs: a waffle coin- I bought it because I thought it looked cool. They seem like a legit grader to me- at lease better then SGS, GGC, GEC... there are too many BS (pardon the acronym) graders out there.

Global began operations in November of 2001 and that website has not been updated since around 2002. While the three principals listed there ARE top people, NONE of them are associated with the company today. Global started out as a legitimate grading firm but since Tom Mulvaney was a perfectionist when it came to the photography turnaround suffered and the large size of the slabs also hurt them. In order to keep capital flowing they began branching out into the promotional type items and they quickly took over the company. The three top people soon moved on. Global went low key for awhile and then bounced back somewhat with the waffle coins. Finding a promotional item slab from global isn't too difficult but and actual grading coin in a global slab is very hard to come by.
Rest in Peace

Another dream shattered by reality. It's unfortunate personality politics entered into this endeavor, but life must go on.
