<p>[QUOTE=&quot;imrich, post: 2794359, member: 22331&quot;]I generally try to purchase their coins &quot;sight seen&quot;, having removed from slabs, and resubmitted to NGC and PCGS&nbsp; as &quot;raw&quot;. Generally, I&#039;ve found SEGS grading is comparable to the top two TPG services, or within a grade, if properly acquired by a knowledgeable grading buyer. </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve also found the top two TPG will vary multiple grades on the same coin submitted several times.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t believe a hard/fast comparison can be stated for TPG grading, or warranty value. </p><p><br /></p><p>One of the features I&#039;ve appreciated with SEGS grading is they will place a grade on a coin, but indicate a possible &quot;market exception&quot;. An example is: an awesome scarce date Double Eagle that is graded MS64 - scratched reverse, where you generally need to rotate the coin to see the scratch. One of the 1st tier TPG who often grades coins with scratches, would probably return the coin ungraded, with some form of negative connotation. </p><p><br /></p><p>JMHO[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
