This is why I am trying to warn everyone. What if you had coins in ENGS holders and didn't agree with their grade? What would you do? Nothing. Unless you want to hunt the man behind this holder.
The owner of ENGS, Terry Jones, sent me an email concerning the comment I made in regard to ENGS, of which he claims to own. I can't verify this, but I posted the email for you to read.
Here it is:
TO WHOMEVER.
ENGS COINS IS MY COMPANY,SAYING THAT YOU WOULD NOT PUT A MS 69 PEACE DOLLAR IN MY HOLDER IF YOU HAD ONE IS SLURING MY COMPANY. I TALKED TO MY ATTORNY HERE IN EVANSVILLE, INDIANA AND HE'S GIVING YOU 1 WEEK TO REMOVE YOUR COMMENTS ABOUT MY GRADING SERVICE.OR YOU WILL BE IN COURT AT YOUR COST.
1 WEEK. TERRY JONES
Here's my reply:
I change my comments on your company as you requested. My comment wasn't meant to slander your service, but that an MS69 would sale for more in a PCGS holder (I know I didn't specify this fact, but that was my line of thought). It wouldn't be wise on my part, as a dealer, to use a mostly unrecognized service. If you have a website, phone number, grading guarantee, or submission address, I would like this information for my site visitors, and I will post it on my ENGS page.
Best Regards,
Daniel Malone
Owner/Operator of coinauctionshelp.com
I didn't receive a response to this email, but on further inspection, I noticed his email address is terry@scrapgoldusa.com. I visited scrapgoldusa.com and didn't see any references to ENGS on this website, but Terry Jones is the owner, and the Evansville, Indiana correlates with his email. I did see a reference to an offer to have your rare coins graded TGS grading service.
I visited this link and discovered that TGS means, Trust Grading Service. Also, here is the contact information on TGS: Address: Suite 1118 Washington Square Mall
Evansville, IN 47715
Telephone: (812) 402-4385
E-mail : service@tgscoins.com
If Terry Jones is the owner of ENGS then he changed grading service names, and started a new one (TGS). I couldn't locate a picture of a TGS slab, but the site promises a "coming soon" video of their grading process.
