This is a coin I am very interested in, and am really considering going for it (It's currently listed on ebay).

The one thing that makes me a little worried is that it has been graded by SEGS.

SEGS is not a TOP_ Tiered TPG but they are not a basement slabber either. They do really well on certain series of coins and this one looks to be pretty accurate to me judging by the pictures. SEGS is not anything like SGS which is owned by the seller, SEGS is actually a grading company that has graders working there. The marks on the Reverse looks to be on the slab itself not the coin and I don't see any reason why this coin shouldn't grade 64 going by the pictures and actually its a very nice 64 in my opinion. Just make sure they have a return policy and I think you will be fine just in case there is some type of problems that you can't see in the photo

I just looked up the listing on ebay.. and I'd be a lot less worried that its been graded by SEGS than the fact that the seller is out of Hong Kong.... There is a 14 day return period and 100% feedback... But for me the fact that its from Hong Kong is a huge no no/red flag. With a 12-20 day shipping time would you even get it within the return period?

IF it is real, it looks like a solid PR-64... and with the price now at $316(ish) I'd imagine its going to bump to over $1500 by the end of the auction. But again.. being from Hong Kong I wouldn't risk it no matter what.. That seems like playing with fire to me.. Coin counterfeit capital of the world... I'd pass on this one.. But that's just me..

Good Point. I only looked at the feedback, and never noticed that the seller was from Hong Kong. That is also a red flag for me.
