<p>[QUOTE=&quot;billionaire, post: 456903, member: 16166&quot;]NGC and all grading services attibute a coin based on an OPINION . . . I agree 100%.&nbsp; However, the COIN MARKET backs the opinion of these services and although much value is illusionary created by plastic, the REALITY of the coin market is people buy plastic.&nbsp; Take the PROOF HIGH RELIEF.&nbsp; PCGS does not grade ordinary High Reliefs as PROOF.&nbsp; However, NGC does.&nbsp; Proof High Reliefs graded by NGC will bring a substantial premium at auction over their mint state counterparts.&nbsp; A $50,000 High Relief Saint&nbsp; in an NGC holder might bring $20,000 in a PCGS holder graded MS opposed to proof.&nbsp; NGC and PCGS offer an opinion, but the market accepts these opinions as GOOD SOLID OPINIONS TO RELY ON.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The 1854 O is NGC Serial Number 1653795-002.&nbsp; A call to NGC can confirm it is authentic and this indeed ist he slabbed coin.&nbsp; Anyone who is serious about buying it can work out the details with me regarding inspection and setting an escrow agent so that no one is cheated.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
