Irishraider Pillar of the Community United States 1454 Posts	Posted 09/30/2006 10:03 pm That's right. It's our good buddies over at abon/SGS/whatever else they call themselves these days. http://auctions.overstock.com/item/32020305 These guys or guy has no scruples. He is using the internet as his own personal bank account. The sad thing is people are still buying his overgraded items and don't have a clue. He is making a living off of other peoples lack of knowledge. There is no telling how many other auction sites he is ripping people off on. Report this Post to the Staff

Pretty good pictures but I don't believe the MS-66 grade. What are your thoughts on the grade? Report this Post to the Staff
Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 09/30/2006 10:21 pm oh definately not a MS-66, it may be a MS-64 if you are lucky but the way he takes his pictures they dont show alot of the marks thats on the coin so I usually just always take off about 2 or 3 points fropm their grade. I have to say theirs is alot closer than that "centles" guy with all the NNc coins, you have to take about 6 points off his grading sometimes more and they are all usually problem coins Report this Post to the Staff
Irishraider Pillar of the Community United States 1454 Posts	Posted 09/30/2006 10:36 pm Yeh, I was always wondering about him also. I have bid on both of these guys' stuff in the past before I knew any better. I am now so glad I never won any of it. Report this Post to the Staff
Morgan Fred Rest in Peace United States 2684 Posts	Posted 10/01/2006 12:30 pm I agree with Bryan's assessment. There's too many contact marks on Liberty's face and field for MS-66; MS-63 or -64 might be more appropriate presuming he hasn't photoshopped the Morgan to erase other bag marks. Aboncom aka SGS has been on the ANA's hit list for some time (along with estatedoctor), but the problem is that he stays on the sunny side of fraud and legality by simply overgrading his coins rather than trying to pass off counterfeits, altered, and problem coins as "BU" and Mint State. The only good thing I can say about his auctions is that aboncom gives us a census of the numbers of uneducated buyers out. I also wonder about the source of his incredible inventory of Morgans and other nice coins. It wouldn't surprise me that he's in cahoots with several estate lawyers who offer only a few cents on the dollar for little old widows' late husbands' collections. Fred Report this Post to the Staff
