[QUOTE="treylxapi47, post: 2085364, member: 41863"]I was concerned with just the seated quarter series myself. I know the overall market feelings of SEGS, but this guy also wrote the generally accepted resource on this series. I figured his opinion would be valued, at least on the quarters, and that the grading would be relatively accurate. So far I am being told to steer clear, which I intended to do anyway (sort of a gut feeling). I guess that's why we don't see more of the better seated quarters in his slabs and why we don't talk about adding premiums to those coins. I was also curious if there was a good value to be had there if others just blindly dissed all SEGS no matter what and never considered why this series -might-, key word there being -might-, be graded accurately and consistently, since ya know, he wrote the book that everyone refers to on a regular basis. So what would be going on then? He risks his reputation by purposely assigning egregious grades? I would have figured his knowledge would be reflected in his grade assignments, and that would be accurate at least for this particular series. Anyone have any opinions on why logic seems to be at ends here? Why do we point people to his book for the best reference, but steer people away from coins that he has graded? See why logic is failing me?[/QUOTE]
