PCGS or at the very least NGC. For lower tier ANACS or even ICG. Canadians have their own companies that they like but outside of Canada many collectors ignore. Stick to the recognized US TPGs

Basement bagger = bad news. Stay away unless you can grade the coin independently. Or show us photos.

Haven't heard of WHSG, do you have a link?

OK found one. This is a recent basement slabber using a generic shell. Treat it like a raw coin.

I looked up WHSG on Duck Duck Go (I don't use google anymore than I have to these days) and the first results I got was "Westcliff High School for Girls".

Maybe when it's time for grades to come out for the students they do some coins on the side to make a few extra bucks.

World High Standards Grading

It's another basement slabber using the Numistrust slab. I'm up around 20 companies using that style of slab.

During the first six months of the year (or so) dozens of them were sold via ProxiBid from a small # of auction houses. They're now (re)selling on ebay.
