Hey Marty;
If I win it and crack it, do you think it'll come back as AU-58 from PCGS?...

<< Questionable Color! >>

aww $HIT, I'll have to retract my bid>>>>>>>>>>>

DHeath · November 23, 2003 10:33PM

OK, since I know it was purchased in that holder, my guess is that Russ was too busy looking at the coin to notice the holder. Isn't that what we're supposed to do?

MadMarty · November 23, 2003 10:38PM

Oh Don, you are no fun at all!!!

Hey- it's a pretty coin.

SEGS gets dissed too often. Maybe they deserve a lot of it, but they ain't ALL bad. They aren't in the NTC/Trugrade/ACG class, at least, and I like 'em better than PCI.

XpipedreamR · November 23, 2003 10:56PM

Looks pretty nice.
I wouldn't mind having that coin.
Hmmm...

lordmarcovan · November 23, 2003 10:58PM

Yep... I thought the same thing. Hmm. Looks correctly graded to me, too. Maybe even 62 quality?

<< They aren't in the NTC/Trugrade/ACG class >>

even SEGS/PCI/NTC/Trugrade/ACG are better than buying sight unseen some of these ebay seller are pretty bad with there grading skills.

Why do you say that?

Russ · November 24, 2003 2:02AM

SEGS gets it right more often than PCI/NTC/ACG. The big difference, though, is that they aren't slimeballs like the other three. It's a nice coin that really does look better than the grade of MS61.

you've said the following in the past:
>>
have several. One of them is accurately graded, the others overgraded. Fabulous holder, though.

No. Didn't even have it five months ago.

SEGS does okay on a lot of different series. On old copper, they mark on the holder if it's been messed with. I like that.

rainbowroosie · November 24, 2003 10:21AM

That coin is ATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATAT...

Russ · November 24, 2003 10:31AM

rainbowroosie,

The coin is not AT. I had some concerns myself so I took it and some others to the last show I went to to get opinions from some dealers. I got thumbs down on some, which aren't going to be sold. This one got thumbs up.
