Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 02/18/2011 11:47 am Quote: This "company" is a once removed cousin to the SEGS Graders, every coin with this company is usually graded 4-6 grades higher than the reality of the situation. I assume you mean SGS and not SEGS. Please do not confuse the two. One is a bottom feeding self slabber and the other is a decent company of quality numismatists. You may not agree with their grades comaperd to PCGS but they aren't that different. And SEGS is BETTER than PCGS at varieties and attributions. Report this Post to the Staff

ExoGuy Pillar of the Community United States 4418 Posts	Posted 02/20/2011 1:54 pm Conder101 is right on target. SEGS is a top-notch company. They're great when it comes to attributing varieties and, contrary to the more preferred slabbers, SEGS will certify problem coins but provide a brutally honest description of the problem. I'd really like to see the subject, the SGS MS-66 Morgan, reslabbed in a SEGS holder. The description would be right on target. Report this Post to the Staff

ExoGuy Pillar of the Community United States 4418 Posts	Posted 02/20/2011 3:34 pm Taking a look at some of this seller's other Morgans, it's the same story; generic, common dates that are grossly overgraded. Yet, the same scenario can be seen at local auctions, flea markets and more sparingly in other venues. The really sad part will occur when the buyers take these overgraded Morgans to a local coin dealer and try to sell them! That poor dealer will more likely be villified than the seller! Then, the whole hobby suffers, too. Report this Post to the Staff
cointagous Pillar of the Community United States 1143 Posts	Posted 02/20/2011 9:14 pm Not familiar with the grading co but doesn't the holder looks like it snaps shut? No sonically sealed process here like other co's do. Found this review on ebay as NAC seems to be home of the MS66. http://reviews.ebay.com/NAC-NUMISMA...000004895610 Report this Post to the Staff
ExoGuy Pillar of the Community United States 4418 Posts	Posted 02/20/2011 9:44 pm The only certification company holder that I've not yet seen cracked/sliced open and resealed is that of SEGS - best holder I've seen. A pastor friend of mine once gave a talk at our coin club, emphasizing to the members that they should buy the coin and not the slab. To illustrate his point, he'd sliced open a PCGS Morgan $1 holder, replaced that coin with a Roosevelt dime and resealed it. His purposeful tampering was virtually undetectable. Now, if a pastor can do that, what can a seasoned cheat do? Food for thought, this ... Report this Post to the Staff
