Mikey07nj Valued Member United States 498 Posts	Posted 01/30/2014 9:52 pm Segs seams to be the cheapest any reason not to use them. I personally only care when buying for authentication because there are some really good fakes out there lately. But as far as grade I always go with my gut because as we've all seen at least 2 grades difference on the same coin from both pcgs and ngc. I talking about sending out my what I think is a 14/13 buffalo and 2 18/17 s slw. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

edweather Pillar of the Community United States 7375 Posts	Posted 01/31/2014 01:05 am I wouldn't mess around with good coins. Top 3 only. Top 2 if it's a really nice coin. Just my .02. Report this Post to the Staff
zxcccxz Pillar of the Community Canada 5417 Posts	Posted 01/31/2014 01:09 am I agree. SEGS is cheap, So is PCI. Both are good, heck I put PCI over ICG anyday. Thing is, certification by PCGS, will cost you only maybe $20 more, as compared to a loss of possibly $100's on these rare coins. Even if you don't plan to sell them anytime soon, PCGS certification will really help in a trade or just, for your peace of mind. Report this Post to the Staff

Heck, they've been through at least three different owners - and a second name - since Coin Community has existed. And now they're open again, under yet new ownserhip. SEGS, I'm not so high on. Larry Briggs is a tremendous numismatist and the go-to guy for Seated stuff, but I've seen some pretty questionable calls in their holders. Report this Post to the Staff
Tbone Pillar of the Community United States 1839 Posts	Posted 01/31/2014 8:29 pm As a rule of thumb I'd go with PCGS or NGC for coins that are likely to be valued over $200 or so. If the value is under that and you're only getting graded for your own peace of mind I'd probably go with ANACS. Just my Two Cents Report this Post to the Staff
