No Name Third Party Grading Services At ebay

#1 Unread post by Daniel »

Often coin collectors will see coins in holders like these for sale on at ebay, and they almost never have a name and sometimes have hand written labels. The grade is highly suspect as these holders are put together by an individual and is one person's opinion grade.

I question the intentions and conflict of interest when it comes to these sellers, and do not recommend buying their coins unless you can get a clear and detailed picture of the coin. It's not what the holder claims on the label, but what grade the coin will actually be.

I mostly agree with you. However, the grades are sometimes done by reputable sellers who grade accurately, and just want to have their coins housed in an attractive holder. But often I think it's wanting to con people in to buying their products with the "their slabbed so they must be good" gimmick. I avoid them most of the time.
