<p>[QUOTE="Morgandude11, post: 1862581, member: 37839"]Could not agree more. I had a West Point 1995 Eagle in a SEGS 70 slab. Everybody who knows Silver Eagles knows that is an expensive and uncommon coin for the series. It did not look anything like a 70, and I knew it was not. I ended up selling it for 69 prices, and it was re-slabbed as a 69 in an NGC slab. Fortunately, I did not pay 70 money in acquiring the coin, or I would have been concerned--I paid low 69 money for it. However, the folks that don't understand that SEGS is a distinctly second-tier grading company might have paid 70 prices for a coin that was obviously NOT 70. This is where the problem lies with them--in the market place ICG/SEGS coins just do not stand up monetarily, and unsuspecting collectors sometimes buy them, thinking that the grade on it is more than fiction.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
