Bought This SEGS Slabbed Nickel on eBay. Think it Will Cross at PCGS?

They label it as though it is full step, when it has a huge gap.
A top tier company wouldn't even note anything about steps on a coin like this.
To defend a confusing label with "well, I see steps visible on one side" is just to be in denial.
My opinion...

Must be alot of these out there... here's the same coin (or a coin graded exactly the same), with the same comment, for a little more money:

http://cgi.ebay.com/1954-S-RARE-5-STEPS-FS-FULL-STEPS-SUPER-NICE-LOOKING-/230419157513?pt=Coins_US_Individual&hash=item35a60d5209

 

This seller is listing as "Full Steps" as well.
It all goes back to the wording on the slab.
Very misleading IMO.

 

I would refrain from buying FS Jeffersons online. Unless they leave a 20x magnified photo with everything clear, stick to buying in-house. The margin for error is too great, and the difference in price is too great for the risk.

 

Glad I'm content on just collecting what I like.........Too many danged hairs to split.

 

Won't cross.

If you break it out, you might get it in a PCGS slab.


Ask for a refund instead.

 

I also vote for refund ... it looks to me like it has been improperly cleaned (i think i see a lot of hairlines)

 

I agree and will add, SEGS is not one of the basement services.

 

id suggest you get a refund .. its not worth the extra cash that indent on the reverse altho minor remover your chance of getting a fs..
