Tbone Pillar of the Community United States 1839 Posts	Posted 01/07/2015 11:55 pm I can't seem to find anywhere on their website what the MAC sticker looks like. I'd think that might be a fairly important thing to build brand recognition. Holy cow, look at the enhancements options they'll attribute http://macablege.com/wp-content/upl...E-PATENT.pdf Buffalos with full split tail? Washington quarters with full split beak? Walkers with full split thumb? 90% red copper coins? Is this what it's coming to? If this was a parody of CAC I'd think it was hilarious but this seems to be for real. Oh boy. -edited to add that I found quite a few coins on ebay already showing up with the sticker. http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odk...c&_sacat=253 They're mostly by the seller called macabletrading (130 out of 151 current listings). Gosh, isn't that a coincidence. That seller has been around since 2000 and just changed their name September 2014. They've had 6 different names over the years. http://contact.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAP...cabletrading To make matters worse, they misspelled their own name on their store where it's called Macable Tracting. I guess I know what the sticker looks like now. Edited by Tbone 01/08/2015 12:21 am Report this Post to the Staff

Groszy Pillar of the Community United States 589 Posts	Posted 01/08/2015 01:47 am Quote: -edited to add that I found quite a few coins on ebay already showing up with the sticker. Love how most of his coins, with his MAC label are 20% off. I don't think that's the type of thing someone wants when praising their CAC rip-off. Quote: We have spent over $150,000 and over 1,600 hours building the macablege.com website Sure could have fooled me. That looks like it cost them maybe $50, and maybe 2 hours. Quote: We have spent over $10,000 and over 3 months developing the number ONE Holographic Hologram, in full color. You had me at "Holographic Hologram". Quote: Our stickered Hologram is as safe as the American $100 bill Those things never get counterfeited. Also, I put my full faith and trust in the US Government to ensure that my $100 banknotes will always be worth something. Quote: ...have endowed our company with millions in capitol... CapitAl. Quote: GE stickered coins pertain to traditional coins, 1800 to 1940 based on being a First Strike or the top 10% of the mint state grade of the coin The mere fact that one can now determine that a 200 year old coin is "First Strike" just astounds me. Quote: We have full page ad contracts with Coin World, Numismatic News and the Numismatist for the next year Since a company must be thoroughly vetted before you can get advertisement for it. Quote: We created this new market, invented, copyrighted and defined these new GE series terms, listed below. All you need to do is invent new designations and everyone's on board automatically? Nifty. And copyrighted too...Tbone, you'd better put the â„¢ after all those designations. You don't want to get CCF in trouble, do you? Quote: The history of Numismatics (coin collecting) has evolved over the last 75 years from the introduction of MS grading of large cents in the 1940's by Marshall Sheldon Now I'm getting worried. William Herbert Sheldon, Jr. Quote: The second revolutionary change is now coming with the fragmentation of full grades into half grades and designations to the Mint State grade with a star or a plus + sign But I wanna know what a star looks like! Quote: As MAC & GE prices of certified Mint State and Proof NGC and PCGS coins continue to rise in value Do they have any proof of "continue to rise"? Where can I see auction results? Plus 20% off ebay listings... Quote: Discoloration can deteriorate with time as well as the PVC (Poly Vinyl Chloride) chemicals which are in some slabs. I did not know the major grading companies are damaging our coins with their PVC slabs. Quote: Don't hesitate to reach out! We are constantly innovating the Coin Industry, but we always have time to speak with our customers and provide services and feedback. Address: 2500 Castle Dr, Suite F-2 Manhattan, NY 10282 Phone: +123 123 1234 Email: email@domain.com I love their phone and email. I'll have to get around all my slabbed coins and send them to this company. I fully trust they will become "lost" in shipment, and there I'll be. Report this Post to the Staff

westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9792 Posts	Posted 01/08/2015 03:33 am I also found the 4-FS sticker funny Jefferson nickels with 4 Full Steps, but what if your coin has 5 or 6 Full Steps? Nost of these designations are ridiculous at best. Though the 90RD for 90% Red copper coins intrigues me, are they going to guarantee and offer a buy back at current market pricing if one they certify changes to less than 90% Red over time? That would be worth it then. I also can't believe they actually spent $150K on that website! Looks like it's Alan Hagar (AccuGrade) after further diving into their website, there is even a video of him holding up a paper on MACge playing in the background of one page.

Tbone Pillar of the Community United States 1839 Posts	Posted 01/08/2015 1:40 pm Since they only have 17 diffrent enhancements I think they should consider adding these 3 to round it out to 20. 90SFH (90% of the holder is scratch free) MBWCC (Might be worth considering a cross over) NUAC (Never used at a Casino, this only applies to Ike dollars).

vermontensium Moderator United States 16679 Posts	Posted 01/09/2015 09:16 am I think I'll start grading the plastic itself. I'll bean it based on scratches. Just another way to grab your money and totally unnecessary. swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff
