ICCS coins fetch higher prices than CCCS coins.
IMO ICCS is a very conservative grader.
If anything they undergrade coins.
CCCS is also accurate, although I have in my collection a "corroded" Elizabeth
II small cent that he graded MS65.

I'm very suspicious of coins graded by ICCS.

Their holder is easy to copy, all you need is a heat sealer and some flips. I respect
Brian and have taken his grading class.
However their holder is a joke and I suspect that many coins have been taken out of the
holder and replaced with coins of a lower grade.

I believe that the no level of security of the holder will be their downfall.

You are an idiot, Galikanokus, a complete idiot.
Please go stand in the corner silently until told otherwise.

Gee, Finnan, you asked a question and got an answer. Just because you
don't like the answer is no reason to be an asshole.

Oh, wait, just getting up in the morning makes you an asshole.

Why don't you do a better job on your next suicide try, instead of
having all of us pay for your vegetative state?
