GEC is the latest company that I have noticed that is not on your website. Below is their website (Such as it is), and above is a coin that they slabbed. Their website really places a suspiciously heavy emphasis on the fact that grading is just an opinion, and that they use some different standard, which is not specified. I have looked for twenty minutes, and found a decent number of their slabbed coins. All are graded at at least MS 67. They slab all coins as MS 67, no matter how bad. It's obvious from Their website that they do not accept submissions from the public, and are self proclaimed self slabbers. a link to their website is: http://www.gecgrading.com/ . I hope this helps.

I got a really good laugh out of their "terms and conditions" section. I quote:



Terms and Conditions




Subjectivity: Coin grading is the subjective judgment and or opinion of the grader(s). Therefore, all parties agree that GEC Grading has made no warranty and shall have no liability to the customer for the grade assigned to any coin by an agent of GEC Grading.

GEC does not guarantee the grade and authenticity of the coins it certifies and encapsulates in an GEC holder

Any dispute under this Guarantee will be resolved by binding arbitration before a single arbitrator conducted at the home office of GEC Grading, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the American Arbitration Association.

The grading of coins is an exercise of judgment and opinion, which can be subjective and may change from time to time. As a result, GEC shall assume no liability of any kind whatsoever and makes no warranties or representations to Customer for any grade assigned by GEC to any coins.




I especially like this bit- "GEC does not guarantee the grade and authenticity of the coins it certifies and encapsulates in an GEC holder" What a joke this company is. You may want to include them anyway.

Thanks again. I thought I had this service listed. I even remember the name and the holder used to have a brown label. Unless there's two GEC services.?
