Capital Coin Grading Service

A defunct kitchen-table slabber, whose opinions are not to be trusted.

can we see a pic

I show Capital in my notes as appearing in Jan 2004. They are the same type of shells as those used by Premier (PCGA) and I don't believe that any other service used those shells. That would mean that they had them made specifically for them and that is not a cheap proposition. I would say that Capital intended to be around but suffered a quick failure. They then may have sold their materials to someone else who ran Premier. Or Capital may have just changed their name to avoid confusion. There have been at least four different companies that have used the initials CCGS. In any case, neither company was in existence very long. the shells are interesting though in that they are not the typical brittle acrylic type plastic used by most companies. This plastic is a little softer and more resilient. It could probably take a hammer blow better than most. Kind of like SEGS slabs which are supposed to one of the most difficult to open. Part of that is because they too use a softer plastic.
