Grading Service Truths

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



First, when he discusses PCGS, he fails to mention that they have violated numerous code of The Federal Trade Comission (FTC) regarding the paid endorsements they receive from PNG because PCGS simply just happened to be the highest bidder for this "endorsement".

Second, NGC is quilty of the same crime insofar as they have paid of the ANA (American Numismatic Association) for a like endorsement.

The problem is that neither PCGS, NGC, PNG or ANA disclose this material fact to the public, thereby misleading the public and giving the customer some sort of false security.

Third, mr. "goldborough" fails to mention that David Hall runs PCGS or also runs David Halls North American Trading, David Hall Rare Coins and others.

Fourth, [removed] fails to tell the World that SEGS grading service owners is Larry Briggs, who also owns Larry Briggs rare coins.

Fifth, TCGS grading service is not owned by coin dealer in Florida who grades his own coins. It is an independant Corp, business, location and group of persons,

Sixth, NGC's founder is John Albanese. And there is also John Albanese Numismatics and David Albanese Rare Coins. A connection there?
Of course!

Seventh, Digital Coin Grading Service (DCGS) is owned by Janette Seligman who also owns GoldTown, Inc a coin dealer.

Eight, Numistrust Corp (NTC) is owned by Kevin McNerney who also owns Island Rarities, Inc a coin dealer

Nineth, Global Cert. Services (GCS) is owned by Jeff Garrett who owns and grades coins. He also owns Mid American Rare Coin Galleries, a coin dealer.

In Summary, people like "mr. goldsborough" are apparently affilated by one of the grading services that he "endorses" because he obviously owns coins grading by those services or sells coins grading by those grading services.
