ICCS Cross Grading Coinmart Grading

They are no longer ICCS valid . They are simply raw coins . That said these guys are excellent to deal with and know how to grade.
Once you break a coin out of a TPG holder that servic opinion is invalid.

I am not sure if they have something to hide, maybe resolution. Is there an option to disable the zoom? or is it just low resolution images?

My dealings with these guys have been positive.

The Coinmart holstered coins that I have seen at shows are , almost across the board< way too generous and overgraded for circulated coins. In my opinion, many are at least 10 points too high in the VF-20 to XF grades.

Hello everyone! This is Joseph from Coin Mart (coinmart62 on ebay.) Just wanted to give my Two Cents on this topic.

These listings are from Dave at BCcoinmart who started the company with me a decade ago. We run different ebay sites now offering accurately graded coins, that are too cheap to spend $8 to get graded by ICCS. My general motto is any coin over $100 should be in a ICCS Holder. They are the best at what they do and when purchasing expensive coins online I would always suggest something in an ICCS holder. When we do buy expensive raw coins, we do package, grade and list them until we are ready to send at least 100 coins to ICCS for bulk grading.

In the past, when a ICCS coin's package was damaged, we would put them in our holder and write the ICCS certification number on it. This is something that I have stopped doing because once it is out of their holder it is invalid. I would just re-grade it and put it in our holder or send it back to ICCS for a re-pack which costs $2 but then you can't sell the coin for two months while you wait to get it back.

I would like to make a quick comment about the zoom feature. In the past we would scan the coins (Dave at BCcoinmart still does.) I think when you do this that feature may be disabled. My site (coinmart62) is the original site and I have replaced 2000 of the 3000 listings with proper pictures taken with a camera. I am still having problems with the zoom feature on some listings and will try and get that fixed right away. We are not very computer savvy over here so please bear with us. If there is a coin that you a interested in we will always send you more pictures.

Lastly, we are not a coin certification company, we simply grade our raw coins to offer our customers an accurate idea of what they are buying. Every coin that we sell in our holder, goes through 2 sets of eyes. We try our very best to be as accurate as possible. If for any reason someone purchases a coin from me and is not happy with the grade we give the coin, I will give you a full refund, pay for return shipping and ship your next coin for free. We do this because we love it and not for the money.

I would just like to say thank you to those who have purchased from us in the past! We look forward to doing business with you again soon!

Thank you XWLCOINS!

I'm not a computer guy either..but the zoom is a very basic thing ....a serious omission IMHO...




Now that option is also a "no-go" from ebay. I only receive little football shaped pics when added and sent to me..so that will never work..

Just get perfectly sharp pics in and make the zoom work..We the buyers will do the rest..




You sound very sincere and also very legit..


So thanks for clarifying everything here..

Hi Joseph, does Roman Tam still do most of the grading for Coin Mart? His eye was pretty darn good at grading - I tend to trust Roman's grading in any raw holder.

I used to enjoy the company of Roman and Dave when they did Nuphilex and Coin Expo coin shows...
