90% of my graded coins are NGC but I still voted for PCGS.

 

Quick question! Are we talking resale values here, Because if we are and you
Like NGC, Your not going to be happy when it comes to reasle of that coin
In comparison to a PCGS holder....I think i said this already LOL

 

The logical choice

 

Not always. I'll buy NGC over PCGS every time, even at the cost of lower grades. I'm hardly alone there. That means there is a market which is just as strong as PCGS, if not more so, with NGC.

none of the above

 

Keep drinking the kool-aid MPC. If PCGS coins have a higher resale value then that means they cost more to acquire in the first place. Unless your entire collection is "homemade" PCGS resale value compared to NGC value is meaningless. Let me rephrase your little catch phase that you love to throw around.

MPC's version:

Like NGC, Your not going to be happy when it comes to reasle of that coin
In comparison to a PCGS holder

Lehigh's version

Like PCGS, your not going to be happy with the buy price of that coin in comparison to an NGC holder

Now what did I do with that kool-aid icon. Little help Leadfoot!

 

Awesome....reality is, if you like the coin it really shouldn't matter. There is some perceived resale differences, whether they are real or not is a matter of opinion. I'd really like some proof of this resale difference, and when I see it, I'll most likely quote Teddy Roosevelt on liars...

 

So than NGC has a big lead over PCGS. So than why such a high cost to buy PCGS coins if us as collectors like NGC? How has the premium been created, marking by PCGS?

 

some people "promote" NGC cause its the only brand they grade with.

Reality.... PCGS coins bring more money any day,all day,every day.its reality.

"Some" NGC coins get lucky and bring good money.

 

I'd really like to see a non-partisan link to this.

 

I like NGC's holder better tho

 

Yes, but the people who pay more for PCGS are likely the same people who buy into the TV coin snakes. Why spend more for the same thing?

We are comparing apples to oranges.their grading standards are not equal.that is why PCGS brings more money across the board.

 

fact:stats prove prices.and now PCGS with their infamous +,it makes it more apparent.Im not saying I even like PCGS,im just stating facts.cold hard stats.no opinion whatsoever.

 

TC, thanks for the concern.

Please don't get me wrong. I wasn't trying to back you into a corner over your statement. Yes, PCGS has graded a ton of modern 70's, but the point that I'm trying to drive home to the newbies who think they must buy 70's when starting a collection is that they will never recover the added expense if they should ever decide to sell them, and they probably wouldn't be able to tell the difference between a 69 & 70 anyway. It's one thing if they are submitting the coins themselves, and some of them come back 70. In that case, sell the 70's and buy other 69's to complete the set. Why pay $100 for a 70 when you can buy a 69 for $40.

Here's a perfect example. In 2005, I submitted a set of Proof Silver SQ's I bought from the Mint for grading to NGC because the KS 25c was a Mint Error. It cost me about $100 to buy the set and have all 5 coins graded. When I got them back the KS graded NGC PF70UCAM MINT ERROR; the OR graded PF70UCAM and the CA, MN & WV graded PF69UCAM. At the time, nationally advertised dealers were selling KS & OR PF70UCAM's for $300 without any error at all. I showed my KS Error to more than a dozen dealers at FUN 2006, and the best offer I got was $175, and I had no takers on the OR PF70 for $150.

So, if the newbies were to pay the advertised prices for 70's listed by the institutional dealers, they would automatically be faced with a huge loss if they decided to sell.

For me, it was just as well that I didn't get a fair offer for the KS Error. I might have been tempted to sell it when I really didn't want to.

 

I just want to point out,if it was a PCGS70 you would have had offers,very reasonable ones.on all 70's
