Does anyone have any recent or past experience with SEGS submissions? I always liked their holders.

Allow me to be the first to reply with “SEGS is still in business?”
Their website is still up

I personally like the PCGS gold shield holder the most.
With that said I think the SEGS holder is really nice. I'm not sure about their grading. I have had and seen agreeable and disagreeable grading.

@coinsarefun had submitted to them and had talked about time tables in recent (last couple yearsish)
I like their holders too!
It's all about what the people want...
I always liked segs as well. No real complaints to speaks about 👍
So they are or are not still in business?

Yes, the website is still up. I called and e-mail them last week with no response yet.

I wonder what their pricing is like. Maybe it is less than it's competition.
Edit: $15 standard submission.

Apparently these are the slabbing services that have websites that I can find:

I haven't a clue. My reply was part serious and part in jest... SEGS is so out of mind when I think of grading companies that it never remotely occurred to me that they could still be in business. I do see now that they have a website. What does it mean? I haven't a clue.
I am considering a significant SEGS submission, actually. "Grade" for the coins are of practically no interest to me - these are simply very difficult coins to attribute.

So have you initiated any action yet?

NTC has new ownership. For whatever that’s worth?
SEGS, I am shocked they’re still in business. Had no clue.
Having fun while switching things up and focusing on a next level PCGS slabbed 1950+ type set, while still looking for great examples for the 7070.

Thanks, yes I do like them. At first they were slow because they needed to make sure to get some things
correctly marked. After that it went fairly quick. I did have a small issue with email returns but also was worked out.
I feel they are a worthy company. In my case I really wasn’t Al that concerned in the grading department because I feel
fairly confident.
What I really wanted was to carry the same theme through the old and new items which gave the sets some cohesiveness.
That was the most important to me. Getting the information correct on the slab I knew would be okay because I got it straight from Ron Landis.
My first choice has always been pcgs with NGC an almost tie when it comes to tokens and medals.
SEGS is a great company for certain items and for the FSNC it was a no brainer.

How do you find general communications/customer service/feedback with them? Timely replying to phone messages and e-mails? Maybe they are just a low budget operation compared to the big three.

As far as I know, Larry Briggs is no longer involved with SEGS at all.

Initially he WAS SEGS, wasn't he? A one man operation.
I heard Larry sold SEGS several years ago. Myself, like others, am surprised they are still in business.
More or less. He ran the show, but had several people involved.

I see Larry a couple times a year. Super nice guy.
Why would you bother? The market does not respect their grades.
Hey hey! I'm buying the slab, not the coin. Isn't that what they say? 🤣 😉

That's fine. But eventually you or your heirs are going to have to sell it. Neither Stacks, Heritage, or GC will help you with that and any dealer will low ball the crap out of you because of the slab. So again, what is the motivation here?
I'm hoping those slabs will become a major collectors item some day. 🥴 😉

Just make sure you have time on your hands if you are about to ask him how it's going. He'll tell you.

Are they good at attribution?
I think ALL TPGs think they're "God" when it comes to attribution. 🤣🤣
Lol. No. I think many of the second tier know they aren't good at it but they are hoping the customers don't notice.
One of the problems with SEGS is that they are not recognized by eBay so you would
not be able to sell on their site unless you blacked out the grade.
I'm not to sure about that.

One will slip through occasionally but it's true.
Agreed.
Many PCI coins and SEGS coin slip through with the grades shown, yet it is against eBay policy to do so and if reported I'd imagine the listings are pulled.
Here is an interesting thread that also goes into that fact:

Have you checked this link? It looks like they all just about slipped through.

It might be because the grade is not in the title.

Those are OK because the grade has been blacked out. They are only against eBay policy if the grade shows. It is not the holder, it is the grade on the holder that can get it removed.
I count 9 in this one link where you can see the grades.

Not all of them get reported. It is the same as with counterfeits, unless they are reported,
they don’t get removed. There are listings removed every day but there are so many that
they don’t all get caught. Also this is not at the top of the priority list when removing listings.
It really depends on whether they are reported. I've had PCI slabs go through but others get pulled. None had the grade in the title or the text.
I think the title is the key. Evading eBay "AI" is the another. The AI isn't that intelligent.
That's one of the things I want to find out, since their staff has turned over so much. Ten years ago, SEGS might have been considered "the best" for attribution of really esoteric items.
