The Coin Grading Service - UK (CGS-UK) has closed according to an email I received from their successor today.

It is apparently succeeded by London Coin Grading Service (LCGS) and the old records are available - for a fee...


Quote:
Dear <myname>

CGS has closed and ceased trading,

The population report valuations by grade, general information, and the My Page functions are now available on a subscription basis via the London Coins website.

The annual subscription charge is £99 payable to London Coins LTD, after payment is received we will set you up on the new system. Membership will run for one year from the date we set you up.

Subscribers will be able to

View The Population Report

View The Valuations By Grade Current and Past

Input their coins in the system (or access their old CGS coin list) to get Valuation Reports, Photo Gallery, Collection lists which shows your collection in the full series, and a league table entry.

Subscribers may apply to be London Coins Grading Members, signed up members will be able to submit coins for grading.

<snip/>

Cheaper Service Coming Soon for Information Only Users.

At the moment we are looking quickly to re-establish the functions that the former CGS My Page users were accustomed to, but we are intending shortly to offer a service for information only users who wish only to see the population reports and valuations by grade, and not to log their coins into the system. We expect this will be £19.99 per annum for population report only and £49 for population report plus valuation by grade.

Thanks.

The letter covers the closing of CGS, but does not seem clear as to whether they will be continuing to grade and slab coins.

Conder - it does say that "signed up members will be able to submit coins for grading", but it's short on the details.

If I had to guess they went into Administration and we're bought Lock Stock & Barrel... that means domains, databases and Sonic sealers
