Without philipma1957, minerjones or krogothmanhattan as escrow..... buy at your own risk.  They are the REAL escrows.  Nobody wants to use some skam company.  If you don't like OUR escrows..... you just might be in the wrong place.

The only way that could happen was if the creator was there to sign.  No labels leave the building.  I asked for one of the extras as a keepsake.  The answer was a firm “no”...... understandably.

Edit:
The extras were if Charlie had messed up a signature on those Lealana signature series.... all extras were destroyed.

It’ll be the way Charlie’s were done going forward. (Unless requested by the customer) Front of the coin, front of the slab.  The hologram should not face the front.

I believe MJ has the data, but lately it has been the opposite.... ANACS just slaps 68 or 69 on everything now.

They offered to reslab and fix any labels as this is a new space for them.  Yes, the labels were inconsistent previously, but that is why yesterday was so refreshing.  They wanted a template to work off of and worked with us on one.  They want to be consistent with our items just like they would be with a silver eagle.  They want to do it right and took the time to find out how.  The new format is pictured.  Reach out to them.  You won’t be disappointed.  Thanks for the comment.

Hello All,

Today I had a very unique opportunity to join Charlie Lee for a look inside of ICG and see the process they use to grade and slab our beloved coins.  Charlie had a few coins graded today and we got to see it from start to finish.  They generally do not allow anyone into the inner workings, but today was an exception.    First, I'd like to thank Charlie for the invitation.  Second, I have made this a self-moderated topic to keep from having any shenanigans.    Third, this is what I witnessed and these are my observations, I am not speaking for anyone else.


I'd like to start with security.  The place is a fortress!  The security seems to be state of the art and the amount of cameras alone blew my mind.  Throughout the day I saw a lot of dual control to insure the coins were where they needed to be when they needed to be there.  From the making of the labels for the slabs to the way they apply their holograms to the slabs, details were checked and double checked.  The grading process is done by professionals who have been grading coins longer than most of you have been alive.  The difference here is they take our coins seriously and give them the grades they deserve.  The coins then go into the slabbing room.  The process is very cool to see and it is done on site.  No third party slabbing of coins like some others do.  I like that when our coins are sent there they under constant surveillance and never leave until they are packed back up under the same surveillance to inure you get exactly what you sent them.

The customer service provided at ICG is second to none.  I am sure minerjones, Lesbian Cow and Charlie can attest to how well they have been treated from day 1.  We met nearly the entire crew today and everyone was willing to show us what they were doing and explain why if we had any questions.  The little "tricks of the trade" they use to insure a quality end product.  They were also about as friendly as could be.  You could tell they enjoyed what they were doing and were proud of what they did.

They also didn't "know better"..... if that makes any sense?  They wanted feedback on how the orientation of the coin's information was the label and keep it consistent. (seen in photo)  They genuinely wanted to hear our suggestions on how to create a better end product for us.  From the "possibility" of a custom crypto coin label to the "possibility" of authentication.  Now when I say authentication, I don't mean them guaranteeing the funds, but authenticating them.  For example: they are sent a 2018 CI Phoenix silver coin loaded with 0.01BTC..... The coin being listed as .999 silver would be put on a Sigma Precious Metal Verifier to verify the .999.  Then the first bits would be put into a wallet explorer to verify that the 0.01BTC is there at the time it is been slabbed.  That way you can feel more comfortable buying a coin that comes in an ICG slab.

All in all, we learned a lot from them today and they learned a lot from us.  They want to be "THE GO TO" grader for crypto coins and today they showed it!  They want to learn about our coins which was refreshing to see.  I must say it was an incredible day.  

Thank you for your time and here is a coin from today:

Just following the absurdity.....  and making a point to go along with said absurdity. 

....and be careful about misrepresentation.  You give a site for reference with ABSURD FOR SALE prices.... not SOLD prices.  I can put my car for sale for 1M USD.... doesn’t mean it’s worth that.

So the 1/3/2019 paper was worth 20BTC as well??  I have a copy I’ll sell you for a mere 10BTC.  Half of what you believe it to be worth.  I’ll even cover the escrow fee.  

Edit:
...and I’ll give 1.5BTC to freeRoss out of your 10BTC.  It can come straight out of escrow.
