ASA - Accugrade Coin Grading - PLEASE ADVISE
Hello.
I have sent 10 coins (worth appx. $600) to this service for grading during their 10 for $100 21 day special on 8/22. I have not received anything back and by now left numerous messages on the phone number listred on their site without any reply. Also, it seems that the original number and the address have changed. Has anyone recently had any experience withi service? (My CC has already been charged a couple of weeks back.) thanks in advance. |

ASA - Accugrade Coin Grading - PLEASE ADVISE
Thank you for your reply. Yours and the one before it were the only
ones to address my situation. (ASA will SUE me? For what? I have not made any statements about the quality of their grading - just the fact that I have not received my coins in the time frame advertised.) Anyway, if I don't get my coins next week and/or don't hear from there - I'm off to the post office, thank goodness, the transaction was insured. Thanks again y'all. And remember kids, once you have removed the pin, Mr. Hand Grenade is no longer your friend...... Bruce H (BoxTurtle) wrote: On 28 Sep 2006 17:05:58 -0700, is alleged to have written: Hello.

You can google this newsgroup for ACG or accugrade or Hager or ah-collectibles. All are the same entity. That will give you lots of opinions. You will also find helpful advice for how to safely remove coins from slabs, should you choose to do so after reading the opinions. But I am not aware of any complaints about slow turnaround time. I suspect you'll get your coins before very long. As for leaving messages on their phone, they are probably VERY busy with their lawyers. They filed a lawsuit against some folk who publically expressed an opinion on their grading standards or business practices (I was one of those originally named) and it is not going well for them. They appear to be having trouble meeting court imposed deadlines for discovery, so much so that their expert witness is likely to be disqualified shortly for example. Ira's advice is good: If you're going to certify, you should stick to PCGS, NGC, or ANACS. ICG does deserve some respect, but all the other services are treated more as a holder than a certification of authenticity or grade.

I have not made any statements about the quality of their grading - just the fact that I have not received my coins in the time frame advertised.) Don't blame anyone. Some who were sued by ACG were out quite a bit of money before they got dropped from the suit, you really can't blame them for being a bit gun shy. Will ACG sue you for the above post? Probably not. They are having terrible luck trying to sue individuals for saying bad things and they've got bigger fish to fry. But ACG does monitor this newsgroup (Hi Clayton!) and has corrected some of their ebay blunders mentioned here. Perhaps they'll look into your problem and take care of it. You could also try the number for Treasure Gallery from this auction: http://snipurl.com/xmj5 That's ah-collectables new ebay id, and ah-collectibles = Al Hager = ACG. They may be more inclined to answer that phone number. Anyway, if I don't get my coins next week and/or don't hear from there - I'm off to the post office, thank goodness, the transaction was insured. ALWAYS ship insured, even to the major services. Stuff happens.
