[QUOTE="CamaroDMD, post: 1862113, member: 5233"]SEGS has never been taken seriously as a TPG...not since day one. If you think otherwise you are simply wrong. They are a TPG joke. Now, ICG is a little different. Years ago, they were somewhat reputable. Back when they had their original ownership...they were considered a lower second tier grading service. At the time, PCGS/NGC were the clear top tier followed by ANACS and then ICG. When ANACS and ICG began to change hands...their quality and reputation dropped. Today, most serious collectors consider coins in ICG slabs to be raw while even ANACS is heavily scrutinized. PCGS and NGC remain the only TPGs that are credible today. As for SEGS, they are simply not considered a serious grading company. I always viewed them as raw coins...but after what LostDutchman has said about them in this thread, I might even be more suspicious of them than raw coins. LostDutchman knows his stuff and I'm inclined to believe him. I'm somewhat confused why you are so attached to them.[/QUOTE]
