With the inception of online auction sites and individual websites I have noticed most sellers are out for the money. They care nothing for the buyer. How can someone judge a coin for themselves by looking at a picture with poor resolution. Yet they grade it or price it at the top of the list. My pleasure is Jefferson Nickels’ and it seems there are few who agree on the same requirements to be designated as a Full Step coin. I find this discouraging. My second problem with collection is with PCGS. Though I believe they are the BEST third party Grading System in the World I for the life of me can&#039;t understand why I have to pay an absorbanent amount of money to have a modern coin graded only to see it has a value less than what it cost me to have it graded. I honestly believe that every coin graded by PCGS should be worth the price of grading as well as its value. Hands down, with rare coins every time it&#039;s worth the investment to have PCGS grade your coin. Where does this end...How many sellers tell you that the coin is worth $X according to PCGS and you&#039;re looking at something graded by a company you never heard of. SEGS a while back tried to implement a new grading system for Full Step nickels and in the beginning there was a great discount for all coins submitted through the FSNC. Art, Steve, thank you for the insight and hard work. This is a tuff group of people and they expect the best...nicks, bridges, and so on don&#039;t cut it with one wants Full Steps when they are trying to add their coin to a registry set. I always believed if you were to offer the same registry set through your company allowing your coins plus PCGS and NGC you would have pleased a lot of people. PCGS has the foothold and a lot of hard work is needed to breakin and have the general public accept your system. Now that I said my peace I have to say, I am not Ed &quot;6Step&quot; Stucky. I chose this user name because the name has been around for a while and serious Jeff Collectors should have heard about him through his book.</font></span>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
