<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Insider, post: 2603852, member: 24314&quot;]Well it certainly appears to be worth your time as you chose to post some <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie30" alt=":bucktooth:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie93" alt=":troll:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> comments having <b><span style="color: rgb(179, 0, 0)">nothing of importance or worth</span></b>!</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie10" alt=":oops:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; Guess I posted about this nonsense before. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie52" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie52" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie52" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; Anyway, I have not changed my opinion of this type of <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie96" alt=":vomit:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> post by [USER=74818]@britannia40[/USER].</p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=22004]@Owle[/USER]&nbsp; asked: How do you suppose PCGS or NGC would grade these Segs coins: <a href="http://www.linumis.com/images04/25964.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.linumis.com/images04/25964.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.linumis.com/images04/25964.jpg</a> Segs MS60, AU58</p><p><a href="http://www.linumis.com/images06/29417.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.linumis.com/images06/29417.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.linumis.com/images06/29417.jpg</a></p><p><a href="http://www.linumis.com/catalog.php?categoryId=010120015&amp;itemType=uscoins" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.linumis.com/catalog.php?categoryId=010120015&amp;itemType=uscoins" rel="nofollow">http://www.linumis.com/catalog.php?categoryId=010120015&amp;itemType=uscoins</a></p><p><a href="http://www.linumis.com/images01/19852.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.linumis.com/images01/19852.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.linumis.com/images01/19852.jpg</a> Segs MS65</p><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: rgb(179, 0, 0)">The coins you picked can have several grades and all of them would be OK.</span>&nbsp; For example, take the Bust Halves.&nbsp; One of the principle owners of Legend Numismatics has put in print something to the effect that &quot;truly Uncirculated&quot; Bust half dollars are extremely rare.&nbsp; Dave Bowers has written that coins that were once graded AU are now graded MS!</p><p><br /></p><p>That is the problem.&nbsp; Now, much of grading is strictly an &quot;informed&quot; guess based on what the coin is worth.&nbsp; However, for our own good, we all need to have personal standards as to how much &quot;rub/cabinet friction/wear/loss of luster&quot; on the high points of a coin make it AU <span style="color: rgb(179, 0, 0)">for us and our money</span>.&nbsp; Many times, our opinion will not match the TPGS and each of them may be as far as one point in disagreement for MS and many $$$$ of difference if the point is at the AU/MS line.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>We all have read that SEGS, ANACS, and ICG are insignificant when it comes to grading; nevertheless, in many cases coins such as those in your test are often graded exactly how NGC/PCGS would.&nbsp;&nbsp; Buy the coin, not the label.</p><p><br /></p><p>PS&nbsp; As for the dime at the end.&nbsp; I&#039;m AU and IMO none of the top TPGS&#039;s should grade it MS regardless of its color.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
