Eh. I'd pass. First they don't assign a numerical grade. Secondly are their graders qualified? Third I doubt their coin grading service will be accepted by dealers and if the coins will sell for any premiums vs PCGS/NGC/ANACS

Honestly I don't even like the card grading. Also, their card price guides are an absolute joke. You will NEVER sell a card for what they say it's worth. In fact if you get 50% of what they say consider yourself blessed.

That's not Beckett, it's Bradford - they use CoinWorld style slabs with their B instead of Coin World's C. Not sonically sealed and worth the spit they use to attach the label.

Didn't know this even exist. LOL.

I would have treated as another basement slab.

Burton, Thanks for explaining the 'B'. I assumed it was Beckett because the logo looked similar, and Beckett has a coin value guide. I never heard of Bradford ? I did see a few of their slabbed coins on ebay.
