Seller claims its an NGC MS 70. If you squint hard enough you can see the slab says INB..

Yup. No where near 70. Buyer-Beware.

Seller changed it to Certification: ICG, which is still not correct.

Which gives ICG a bad reputation. From what I hear ICG is reputable just not well received.

Regardless like you mentioned it's still incorrect

INB is a joke... sold by the box, 100 slabbed coins for 150$...

Not a big fan of ICG either... but it's not fair to tar them with the real basement brush.

ICG will probably never be on the same scale as the "Big 3" graders and even amoungst those three its pretty clear how the hierarchy goes. PCGS is the top dog with NGC seconded and ANACS is really the slabbing company that is reputable but not really popular.

I picked one of these up once and the holder broke in half.
Absolute junk holder and guy in his parents basement that knows nothing about grading.

It seems this seller is relying on ignorance here. There is so much light in this picture I can't really make out any details. Who knows if the coin is even MS60. I wouldn't pay any premium for this.
