It almost sounds official, but unknown to me. Most likely, it's somebody's basement "grading" business used solely to overvalue their coins on ebay. |

I bought one of their coins. Typical 3rd rate TPG. Coin was overgraded(coin was graded AU, but more like XF), cleaned (apparently "conserved" by USCG). I don't have much good things to say about them. Coin has been cracked out of it's holder. Edited by 1sikevo

It's a scam or sham, however you want to put it. I would swear about them, but this is a family board.

They offer conservation services on their website prior to encapsulation. I'm sure they won't reveal their exact process.
Whatever it was made the coin look unnatural. It's sitting now on my window ledge inside a brown envelope and tissue paper getting a tone job.

They have a bunch of coins graded by them on You Tube for sale, under the account name of coolstuff1776.

I wouldn't stray too far from the big 3 or 4 grading services out there. No need to try a cut rate slabber/grader, because the coin will almost certainly be overvalued and not worth the "deal"

 I have no experience with them directly but I almost spit coffee on my monitor when I brought up their website. |

You have to see the new listings, just rediculous.
I won't even bother with posting the links. Terrible.
