I suspect that if I spent enough on advertising in Coin World, BGS (Bilbo's Grading Service) could take it over, too. Print publications love advertising dollars!

I don't know what you mean? What do you see that gives you this impression? ICG is certainly my favorite of the Big 4 in grading because they are not owned by coin dealers which could lead to a conflict of interest in grading.

Hey
How do you get in touch with BGS (Bilbo's Grading Service)? Do you know how much for submissions?

i started out collecting ngc silver eagles, but quickly switched over to icg because of the conflict of interest and jpm's reputation. now that my collection is almost complete (-88,94,95w and 98), jp goes to anacs in what seems like a childish temper tantrum. it made me feel like I had been duped, but then I thought about it a little longer, is this "the new world order", is he trying to bring parody to the table?

parity or parody - that's a tough one to sort out.

Norham,
The BGS submission fee is only $25! Too prove we're a top tier operation, we bodybag a surprising number of the submissions, and keep the fee! Nothing but the best for OUR customers!
