<p>[QUOTE=&quot;treylxapi47, post: 2085596, member: 41863&quot;]Im looking for optimal ways to collect. The way that I view that is by purchasing undervalued coins, and seeking out niche markets that may have not caught on. I also factor my age into the equation and try to think about trends that will change and the evolution of this hobby in general. </p><p><br /></p><p>So, right now I am buying up eye appealing coins in the old white ANACS holders. Typically these coins are on par with the top 2 BUT they trade at a consistent discount to PCGS and NGC. That is my advantage right now. I am buying solid coins (often 10-30% cheaper than similar coins in NGC or PCGS plastic) and just ignoring the market perception of these top 2 grading companies. What happens if one day either of them slip and loose trust to the point where they become a basement slabber? (think gradeflation) Ive got 50 years of collecting ahead of me (i hope) and just dont feel confident that folks like PCGS and NGC can hold on that long with all of the changes we will experience in my time frame.</p><p><br /></p><p>So thats how I ended up focused on SEGS yesterday, same principle. To buy under-appreciated or shunned coins at a market discount, and just wait for some years, all the while holding onto a good coin (not concerning myself with worthless plastic), and then whenever I want to sell, i have secured a nice margin by purchasing coins at a discount (assuming i pick strong coins) and will be able to realize a great return. </p><p><br /></p><p>This whole process is basically just trying to figure out why no one else is picking up on this, or if there is a good reason why his coins are avoided. </p><p><br /></p><p>So far no one has presented a real reason on why anyone should steer clear of SEGS graded Seated Quarter material. The only answer so far is that SEGS isnt PCGS or NGC, but I am trying to figure out the relevance of that in the context of Larry Briggs being the authority on this series.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
