<p>[QUOTE="jeff, post: 6661, member: 585"]yes, and that astounds me. If you look at who SEGS is made up of -they are all "experts" and researchers -not former dealers or child hood hobbiest -not that there is any downside to the latter -but for the sake of comparing expertise to expertise. Each mentioned has merit, but I just find it perplexing that the "research guys" are not held in as high esteem as the top graders? I mean these guys write books on the coins they grade! They make variety discoveries and respected "type" designations ie VAM. Its interesting that in the business world, if you are a degreed, published engineeer per say -you are one respected dude compared to the mechanic who actually builds and understands the mechanicals -yet in the hobbie world, its the boyhood collector turned grader that holds the respect in grading?</p><p><br /></p><p>By the way, I dont own any SEGS graded coins -just an observation from time spent pouring over the graders web sites.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
