Is this a proper attribution for a M/M. LOL

So called D/S

Segs also has a bunch of 1921 Morgans out there with "So Called Zerbie Dies". Guess they are just not sure!!!

I've seen those "So called" slabs - don't like that attribution one bit - makes it sound like the coin isn't genuine - wonder what brain surgeon came up with this one?

After seeing countless SEGS slabs at shows. I will never buy one , ever!!!
They can't grade or attribute worth *****!!! ( I generated the stars)

Yep, they do seem to make their share of mistakes. I have a '79 JFK that's designated Type 1, and says right on the holder "Clear S". It's too bad, because I really like their slabs, even better than PCGS.

The "so called Zerbie dies" ARE NOT the Zerbe proofs... Two diffrent animals.
Knock SEGS grading all you want, but when you say they cant attribute, take a deep look at that near and dear service to you all, PCGS, whose attribution service is a JOKE! 1837 Large date seated dimes in small date holders?? Ive seen this NUMEROUS times. I can go on and on about how much PCGS sucks in this department....

Forgot to mention...


Name ONE service besides SEGS that will list various attributions, such as WB, Greer, Ahwash, etc etc etc....

On these varieties like this, using the designation "So-Called" is proper.
This may be one mint mark over a different mint mark or it may be a die break, or a repunched mint mark. Until someone can prove what it is, it goes by the historical variety name, hence the " So-Called".

Probably the slab should read "possible D/S" instead of "so called D/S". I guess for the collectors of only PCGS and NGC slabs these SEGS coins are about as welcome as a bad case of herpes. I do alot of attributions with SEGS and find that they for the most part are very accurate. As a matter of my personal opinion, they are the best for attributions right now. I don't always agree with the grades, but this isn't a specific problem with SEGS. I have disagreed with every service ,one time or another.
