<p>[QUOTE=&quot;treylxapi47, post: 2085712, member: 41863&quot;]How did you garner any of that from the words i wrote. I am a collector who has an interest in purchasing solid coins at reduced prices whenever I get the chance. Thats me being a frugal collector and stretching my money. Very little to do with investment. </p><p><br /></p><p>If by investment you mean that I try to make wise purchases and take precaution to avoid a loss in this hobby, then i guess I am an investor by those definitions, because that is my goal, with the possibility of leaving a fine inheritance and legacy to my heirs (in that regard I do want my purchases to appreciate). </p><p><br /></p><p>I think being fiscally responsible in this hobby is pretty important, and I try to approach my purchases as such. </p><p><br /></p><p>That means asking myself if Larry Briggs&#039; opinion on a coin series he wrote a book about are worthy of purchase and may be undervalued by the mass majority of the market. </p><p><br /></p><p>It seems that the prevailing thought of if it isnt PCGS or NGC it isnt acceptable is the clear winner here. And yet again I have not observed any actual evidence on why these coins wouldnt be solid. </p><p><br /></p><p>No one who has given an opinion (and that IS what i asked for), has been able to provide any follow up information to back up their logic. </p><p><br /></p><p>I also keep getting the same answer over and over again, and basically that answer is irrelevant to the discussion I was trying to have. </p><p><br /></p><p>I want to know WHY these coins arent held to a higher regard, especially this particular series, not that they arent PCGS or NGC. I have already said several times I acknowledge that, I understand how the market perceives SEGS overall, I just was wondering if any of the same people who point to Larry Briggs for knowledge also trusted his grades on that same series. To me its awful bad logic to say &quot;use his book for everything you could want to know about seated quarters&quot;, and in the same breath say, &quot;but dont buy any of the same coins that his company graded, because he doesnt work for XXX or XXXX, his seated quarters and opinion on them are no good&quot;. </p><p><br /></p><p>I can accept those answers, if someone can SHOW me how that logic is supposed to work, cause right now I just dont see it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
