We've had this discussion so many times it's almost pointless to do so again. But just for the sake of argument, let's agree that NGC hands out the 70 grade more often than PCGS does. What would be the conclusion ? The only conclusion there could be would be that NGC hands out the 70 grade more often than PCGS. And that's all you could conclude. It doesn't mean that PCGS is more strict with grading as a whole than NGC - we are only talking about 1 grade and 1 grade only. What about all the other grades ? What about all the other non-modern coins ? When was the last time you saw either company assign a 70 grade, PF or MS, to a coin that was not a modern ? I'll give ya a hint - never.
Next you might want to ask why PCGS hands out so few 70 grades. You don't suppose it might be because they want to hold up the market value of those coins already graded 70 now do ya ? Nor could it have anything to do with one of the principals of PCGS being a seller of those coins graded 70 - nahhh that would be out of the question. It's all because PCGS is a tougher grading company
Yeah - and I got a bridge I wanna sell too.
