Obviously you think I'm being honest and that I appreciate your confidence in what I say. So what coins or exonumia are you looking to trade? Frankly about all of you here surely think I have apostate views regarding my thoughts on understanding of coins, coin grading and the coin grading service hierarchy. Believe it or not too I actually have more confidence that my SEGS coins are better graded than most of my PCGS or NGC ones. That SEGS cannot grade coins as accurately as PCGS or NGC is a long standing rumor in my opinion, as it is not based on anything too substantial. Now perhaps with older SEGS slabs there is a real argument to be made that their grading standards then were too liberal but the new stuff is quite the opposite I've found. The new SEGS is grading more conservatively than both PCGS and NGC (on average). The only way one can know this or be convinced beyond what I report is to try sending them to slab some cheaper coins and see how they turn out. If you find the grade is accurate or perhaps graded a bit too conservatively you will certainly get my point. Send them a coin you like, however make it a more inexpensive one (so the money factor won't discourage the submission) you're not thinking to sell. I would be curious to learn of your opinion(s) in your findings with their grading. If you don't try it you will never know for certain.[/QUOTE]
