Question
Hi I have been buying these coins on Ebay. Would these coins rate MS67 or ? compared to ICG or the top tiered companies. Could you give me a price that I should be paying. Thanks George

Answer
It all depends upon what coins they are and how that grading service grades them.  I have seen MS70 coins from SGS cross to AU-58.  Having said that there is no guide anyone can tell someone to pay for those types of coins.  Many people pay too much thinking the coin might be only one or two grades below the grade on the label.  Buyer beware and I say stick to the top three companies:  PCGS, NGC and ICG
