<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ExoMan, post: 4818805, member: 72588&quot;]I&#039;ve been doing business with Larry Briggs for years, and he&#039;s among the top numismatists in the country, period. I trust his grading and especially value his ability to peg varieties; be they on colonial coins, coppers, Liberty Seated, etc. </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve long found his grading to be conservative and spot-on target. My only &quot;complaint&quot; of sorts is that he can be &quot;brutally honest&quot; when describing details&#039; coins. Thus, when submitting a seriously impaired details&#039; coin, I simply request that it be labeled &quot;genuine&quot; along with the variety. </p><p><br /></p><p>I personally prefer the SEGS holders above all others and appreciate the top-read labels. I&#039;ve found the holders, ones I&#039;ve had for many years, to be more scratch resistant and durable. Since Larry does so many shows, I can save $$ on shipping, too, and not have to worry about pieces getting lost in the mail! I&#039;ve even gotten free overnight service at a few regional shows. Then too, while I&#039;ve seen fake PCGS holders out there, I&#039;ve yet to see a fake SEGS holder.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Larry always treats regular customers well, and he has quite a following. Anyone seeking a rare variety would do well to consult him; this, as his inventory is most</p><p>extensive. What&#039;s been said about his long-standing health issues is true, and that may explain his understandably having a bad day .... we all do, at times. Also, he&#039;s sadly experienced the sadness of some trusted folks stealing from him.</p><p><br /></p><p>Add to this that none of us likes selling a rare coin, only to have the buyer flip it and make a few grand on it. Larry enjoys selling to and servicing serious collectors as opposed to coin-flippers, those who play the slab game. IMHO, he&#039;s far more focused on the coins, per se, and enjoyment of the hobby than the commodity value.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
