VSS Variety Slabbing Service
VSS 'Variety Slabbing Service' doesn't grade coins but attributes VAMS or varities. I have heard nothing but good things about this service and their founder John Baumgart.
Quote from VSS website:
"Established in 2003, VSS specializes in the attribution of Morgan and Peace dollars by VAM number. VSS's products, the VAMSlab and VAMSeal, provide the collector of Morgan and Peace dollar VAMs a unique and affordable way of having their coins holdered and attributed. Follow the links to the VAMSlab and VAMSeal products for more information about them.
In addition to silver dollar attribution services, VSS offers professional numismatic photography for all coins. Visit the photography page for more information about this service."

No information on this grading company. Any TPGS without a website, address, phone number or email are usually "self-slabbers" who grade their own coins, sell them, and don't accept submissions from the general public. These companies are not recommended unless one can tell, first-hand, that the coin is authentic, problem free (not cleaned or damaged), and graded appropriately. If you have any information on this company send an email to help@coinauctionshelp.com
I hope you, the visitor of this web page, found this website before you purchased a graded coin at ebay or any other online venue. If not, don't despair, because here you will find all the information you need to buy graded coins without getting ripped off. It's better to learn this information now than never.
Ebay is only one of many websites that contain coin auctions or coins for sale in holders with an assigned grade. It's also apparent that uninformed collectors assume that a coin in a holder is authentic and graded appropriately, but such is not always the case.
It doesn't take a degree or training to buy coin holders, create the labels of your choice and encase coins inside. Furthermore, if you know how much coins are worth in different grades than you would be able to grade any coin, a grade of your choice, for the most profit. However, it doesn't stop there as many decide that can pass-off cleaned coins as problem free, or fake coins as authentic. If that's not enough, some have chosen to fake holders from the most respected grading services like PCGS and NGC.
So, I hope each visitor takes heed to the information contained in these web pages and buys graded coins accordingly.
