ANGS – INB Ebay Self Slabbing Sellers

ANGS is an ebay seller masquerading as legitimate grading service, that grades their own coins for the sole purpose of gaining as much profit as possible. All examples I have examined are coins that have either been cleaned or over-graded or the combination of both.
ANGS does not adhere to any standard but their own, and don’t even attempt to give an honest grade. If you buy ANGS slabbed coin, do so at your own risk. To see more examples of poorly graded coins click here
INB
INB (International Bureau Of Numismatics) is another service that appears to be owned an operated by an ebay seller named Numismatic Bureau. I have received many email complaints about this service. Namely, over-grading and the wrong date on the label when compared to the coin in the holder.
INB slabs mostly modern coins, and giving most a perfect PR70 or MS70 grade. A perfect 70 grade is a rare occurrence even in modern coinage, and this grade can only be obtained by a coin that has no imperfections.
It’s apparent, to any knowledgeable collector, that INB can’t possible come across this many perfect coins. PCGS grades many more coins than INB and they don’t grade a third as many perfect coins.
INB also grades proof and mint sets as well as modern rolls of coins. I suggest buying these coins at your own risk, and only if you can see clearly that the coin is perfect, and will make the grade if submitted to the top tier grading companies.

INB is a scam! I bought a dozen slabbed 50 cent pieces, they all came back in holders marked MS 70, the coins were so scratched up , they looked like pocket change, actually my pocket change looked better. I notified ebay about the seller, especially about the scam of “found old coins” featured in jars and cigar boxes. No change in listing policy 90 days later. They move thousands of coin through ebay and I believe ebay wants to keep him as he makes “ebay” money. How can meg whitman expect to clean up California if she cannot clean up ebay..is what we californians want…another smooth talker. INB has the worst track record I have seen over 500 negative feedbacks, over 100′s of neutral feedbacks. If it were a small fish like myself, I would be suspended or not allowed to sell. EBAY BUYERS BEWARE OF INB SLABBED COINS.
INB (International Bureau Of Numismatics)are still at it, and not onyl do they continue to practice sub-par grading standards and sell the coins in their holder, they also like to use loose words in their auction titles and descriptions.
INB uses the same and tired old images and story-lines like “Just found”, and make their coins in their auctions look like some new found treasure. It’s humorous that all of these rare found stashes have coins in INB holders. What a joke!
