Default "Certified Genuine" ??? Coin Grading Service

I just bought a coin off of eBay that was slabbed by some outfit called
Certified Genuine, or, at least, that was what the slab label listed.

I, of course, paid no attention to the grading, but am still curious whether
anyone has ever heard of this outfit. Alternatively, is some coin dealer
slabbing coins in the back room? Thanks, Joel

Whatever it is, it's certainly not a recognized grader. There are only 3 that
most people consider "recognized".


Well, that's certainly not true. There are three or four that most
people consider reliable (PCGS, NGC, ANACS, and the seemingly
up-and-coming ICG). There are at least three or four more that are
recognized as not being self-slabbers, but whose reliability is in
question.
