lonnie Valued Member United States 250 Posts	Posted 03/31/2008 06:56 am I was at a local coin show in the Cincinnati area yesterday afternoon and saw some certified dimes in a dealers showcase. They were graded by a company named International Grading Service. I bought the 3 coins dirt cheap. I asked the dealer if he knew the company and he had no idea. When I got home, I looked them up and they are located in Cleveland, Tennessee, which, I believe was home to PCI at one time. Overall, the coins surprised me as they were pretty darn close to the grades on the slab. Anyone heard of them? http://www.igsgrading.com Report this Post to the Staff

SpringCypress Pillar of the Community United States 666 Posts	Posted 03/31/2008 5:00 pm I don't know anything about the company... but... It would be nice to have a reliable TPG that did $5 slabs... I think there could be a market for something like that. I know I have a bunch of singles that I wouldn't mind having graded the only drawback being they're $50 coins... I can see paying 10% of the value to have it graded, but not 20% (ANACS) or more (PCGS and NGC). Report this Post to the Staff
lonnie Valued Member United States 250 Posts	Posted 03/31/2008 6:00 pm I kind of agree with you Spring. They do make no bones about it. They openly feel there is a need for a lower cost slab on ebay. As I said, I really know nothing about them. Just bought the (3) coins at the show yesterday. They were very attractive coins, which is why I bought them. The price was right as good. Being in IGS holders was definitely secondary for my decision to purchase the coins. Report this Post to the Staff
