Isaiah New Member United States 35 Posts	Posted 12/31/2008 4:29 pm I rather disagree with that I have one EXACTLY like this, only an 1800 certified as an MS 60 by SGS. Report this Post to the Staff

scubu Locked 822 Posts	Posted 12/31/2008 4:56 pm Wow, I sure hope you didn't pay much because that coin is an obvious fake. Here's a PCGS coin.... Got a picture of your SGS slab? You do realize that an authentic 1800 draped bust dollar in MS60 is a minimum 25K coin right? Edited by scubu 12/31/2008 5:02 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Isaiah New Member United States 35 Posts	Posted 12/31/2008 5:01 pm Scubu: I do not know how to get pictures from the camera, to the internet. I bought that coin on ebay about a year ago from Bangladesh. I paid $3. I then sent it to SGS, which cost approximately $18. Therefore paid about $21. Report this Post to the Staff
scubu Locked 822 Posts	Posted 12/31/2008 5:03 pm Sorry, I'd bet my last dollar you paid $21 too much. Report this Post to the Staff
Isaiah New Member United States 35 Posts	Posted 12/31/2008 5:06 pm Scuba: isn't the goal of having your coins certified to eliminate all question as to the authenticity? Report this Post to the Staff
BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 12/31/2008 5:10 pm Sorry Isaiah and I don't want you to get out of the hobby over $21; but your $3 ebay coin from Bangladesh is not going to end up being a genuine 1800 Draped Bust Dollar worth $30,000. ebay is loaded with sellers from Asia peddling fake U.S. coins. SGS is not a legitimate grading service either as proven by your experience. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff

Isaiah New Member United States 35 Posts	Posted 12/31/2008 5:14 pm Scubu: I sent them to SGS because I've heard they are excellent with authentication, but not grading. Not to mention they were very cheap. I don't agree with the assigned grade. It's an XF 40 at best. Report this Post to the Staff
Isaiah New Member United States 35 Posts	Posted 12/31/2008 5:14 pm Also, compared to a genuine example, I agree my coin is counterfeit. Report this Post to the Staff
jbuck Moderator United States 189117 Posts	Posted 12/31/2008 5:24 pm Scan the Third Party Coin Grading Forum (TPG's) and you will see that the opinions on SGS are not flattering.

Isaiah New Member United States 35 Posts	Posted 12/31/2008 5:29 pm I love SGS. I have 3 coins slabbed by them and I love them all this was just the most expensive one. Report this Post to the Staff

People have been known to pay hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars learning this particular lesson - you really caught the luck train on that one! SGS is not a reputable grader/authenticator - do a search here on the forum for that name and check out the topics that come up.. not only for info on SGS but other grading companies as well. I have an INB slab (International Numismatic Bureau.. another self-slabber slabbing pocket change at MS-70) sitting on my desk to remind me to learn about the coin first before even thinking about buying one. (ie: "Buy the book before the coin".. should have been tattooed on my forehead!) I'll take a $21 lesson over a $2100 one any day Report this Post to the Staff
