"Mongrel Slabs" 2

MusicAL

Hello again.

Here are 2 more certified coins in "mongrel slabs" but again I must state that SEGS in my opinion is not totally without some merit. To be honest, I'm quite conflicted on that point. Anyway, NTC (Numistrust) I understand is a bit of a joke in coin professional circles.

I find the difference in opinions between SEGS and PCGS particularly interesting on the 1853 dime. Who is right??? My bet would be PCGS. I don't see any pitting or corrosion on the dime so COULD it just be "Toning"?

I have several ICG coins but I don't think I will submit those to PCGS. ICG to my understanding (PLEASE correct me if I am wrong) has a good degree of acceptance but I don't know how they would stack up to PCGS or NGC. I will post the ICG coins later.







Not sure what I did wrong...as the quarter photos are upside down. My apologies. Now you know why I never studied photography!

You might try republishing your threads with images of maybe 750 x 500 pixels.

Thank you, Weiss. I have reduced the image sizes. I DI have a rather slow learning curve so thanks for your suggestion!!! Alan

As always, buy the coin, not the slab...... understand your product, it can lead to some very nice acquisitions. Kool aid can cause you to lose some good deals... Cheers, RickO
