Ok…..I took your info and “facts” and tried to pull the coins sold the SAME day from both grading companies.
We must guess that all of the coins were graded right and that none had toning or carbon spots or such that would either help or hinder the price

Looks like PCGS and NGC are right together on this one….I don’t see how that shows that PCGS is selling for MORE…it looks like the SAME

And right here…..it looks like PCGS slabs sell for all over the place….maybe that is because their grading isn’t consistant---that is over $300 change in the SAME day.

My goodness….it looks like for 1881-S Dollars you would do better in a NGC slab than a PCGS slab…..WOW…..maybe PCGS isn’t so hot after all.
It might be that NGC is better at grading Morgan dollars and collectors know that.

None of these were sold at the same time or even the same year….could it be that maybe the value has gone down?….it seems that even on Ebay you can get one of these for about $100….value has gone down.
Now I took these right from your post.....so I don't think you can say that they are wrong....
I've said in other posts that PCGS seems to maybe be stronger on PF/MS70 coins.....but on coins such as Morgan Dollars--Franklin Halves---and many many others NGC is the one to send in coins.
Collectors are slowly learning this and the market will change soon.
I know that you collect Copper coins and I went to Heritage and pulled 2 pages of Copper coins...I found over a hand full of coins that show that in their date and mintmark PCGS has graded tons more than PCGS in that grade or higher....POP reports aren't the thing to go by....so coins no matter who they are slabbed by will sell for the same....if you had a 1913 V Nickel.....it won't matter who its graded by because they are going to sell for millions anyway.
It doesn't really matter to me if you agree or disagree.....its my collection and I'll get my coins graded by who ever I want....and the same goes for anyone that collects.....we should collect how and what we like.
