<p>[QUOTE="Bob Evancho, post: 3414500, member: 84595"]I recently sent many 1893-S Morgan Dollars to SEGS and when compared to the PCGS photograde site, all SEGS coins were undergraded by one grade. I have been a collector for 64 years. By that I mean a PCGS photograde of an AU-50 came back XF-45 by SEGS standards. A PCGS photograde of an AU-55 came back AU-53 by SEGS standards. I also compare straight graded PCGS AU's and XF's from eBay to my SEGS coins and I would buy the SEGS before the PCGS or many NGC's. Some coins were marked with a details grade, Harsh cleaning, when in hand they had a light cleaning. In my opinion SEGS is a consistent strict grader like past grading standards and has the strongest holder in the industry. Buy coins by your eye appeal and not the Holder. My favorite coin is this 1893-S and I compare it to the PCGS photograde [ATTACH=full]906181[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]906182[/ATTACH] 1884-CC MS-62 with 5 reverse black marks. Compare this coin with the reverse of the 1925 Peace that recently sold for over $9,000 and PCGS graded and upgraded to an MS-64+.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
