My choice PCGS for me (submittal) where somebody else submits could care less it’s their money their coins.
Sigh.... BTW, it is "...couldn't...". Then again, maybe you "...could care less...", but don't, because...gee whiz, is that possible?
Thanks. I'm fully aware of what the commercial perception is. (resale prices). I'm just pointing out anecdotal observations. Maybe the sample size (in hand) isn't big enough to ask the question. Does the big two cater to dealers so much that less expensive (and less hassle) ANACS gets an unfair shake?
I can only speak for myself but I doubt my approach is all that rare. I count on all the main grading services to authenticate more than provide a grade. I collect Seated coins and trust my own judgement far more than any of the services. I can find overgraded/undergraded and flat out Detail coins in the holders of all the services. I have probably had around 25 or 30 coins slabbed and have used PCGS NGC ANACS and ICG. All for different reasons at the time. James
