<p>[QUOTE=&quot;physics-fan3.14, post: 2990628, member: 19165&quot;]The incontrovertible fact of the matter is, PCGS and NGC have different requirements for their strike designations. NGC is universally stricter - and that&#039;s not just me saying it. You can look at their published requirements. PCGS only requires 5 full steps, NGC designates 5 FS and 6 FS. Pcgs only requires the horizontal bands of Roosevelt and Merc dimes, NGC requires the horizontal and vertical bands be full. PCGS only requires the bottom set of bell lines on Franklins, NGC requires both sets. In addition, the standards are much more loosely applied at PCGS. </p><p><br /></p><p>If your standard is a well struck coin, the strike designations at NGC are vastly superior. You cannot trust the PCGS designations. I&#039;m not sorry if you get tired of me saying that - because I want people to understand that there is a difference and that collectors of these coins will pay premiums for NGC strike designations. </p><p><br /></p><p>Sometimes I use hyperbole and exaggeration. Again, I&#039;m not sorry that I resort to humor to make a point. I am sorry that you seem to misunderstand me so often; I will attempt to communicate more clearly in the future. If you just don&#039;t like what I&#039;m saying, well, I can&#039;t help that.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
