>Accugrade and slabbing are great as far as authentication,


are you serious? accugrade good for authentication? there is a REASON why MS
accugrade coins sell at prices consistantly a few points lower than coins
slabbed from pcgs, ngc, etc. furthermore if you think accugrade is good for
authenticity you probably ahvent seen the omega high relief that was slabed
by acg.

the accugrade of meteorite slabbing would be some dude in mocrocco with a
plastic injection molding machine slabbing any stones he can find that are
black with white clasts as lunar - and then direct marketing the lunar rocks
to collectors at prices that seem to be too good to be true.
