[QUOTE="19Lyds, post: 2441501, member: 15929"]Thank You for bringing out the obvious. Namely, the $19K Price tag is based upon the PCGS Price Guide which can be overinflated and not a reflection of actual market value. Secondly, it's in a SEGS Slab. Not a PCGS Slab. And THAT is probably the reason the OP got it for $5K. Well, that plus a questionable auctioneer that regularly sells coins over their actual market value. Lastly, why would ANYBODY expect that Larry Briggs would honor "PCGS's Price Guide" value? Oh! My bad. Someone who believes that their SEGS MS66 is interchangeable with a PCGS MS66. There's a reason that SEGS does't have the same marketability as PCGS. Maybe I should have read the entire thread before posting and geting more specific details. Forget contacting an Attorney. Forget finding out when the coin was actually graded. You played a big boys game and lost. Don't try to get Larry Briggs to cover your gaming costs. A piece of free advice: DO NOT use the PCGS Price Guide as a decision making tool when buy some other Grading Companies slabbed coins. Another piece of advice: DO NOT Trust that the listed value in the PCGS Price Guide is what you can expect in resale value. IF the coin had been in a PCGS MS66 Slab and IF you paid $14K for it, you STILL will not walk away with a $2K profit. You MIGHT break even.[/QUOTE]
