<p>[QUOTE=&quot;smb12321, post: 148121, member: 3682&quot;]PCGS, NGC, ICG, ANACS...virtually everyTPG - uses the same methodology for authenticating and grading coins.&nbsp; The numerous trials and tests confirm that no one TPG grades more &quot;correctly&quot; (whatever tha is) than any other.&nbsp; The big difference is perception and&nbsp; the enormous sums spent hawking their company. It&#039;s worked - folks buy coins based on slabs, not the coin.&nbsp; I&#039;ve&nbsp; found&nbsp; the quality of PCGS&nbsp; no better (or worse) than any one of the top 10; in fact, theyare inconsisten and&nbsp; slightly overgrade at tmes.</p><p><br /></p><p>That said, use PCGS.&nbsp; I hate saying this but the market speaks.&nbsp; Some of my coins rose $10,000 in value when they got the vaunted PCGS slab. PCGS &amp; NGC are like the original Big Two networds (CBS, NBC).&nbsp; ABC came along, then PBS, CNN, FOX and now no one channel dominates.&nbsp; Hoepfully tha&#039;lll be the case in the coin world eventually. </p><p><br /></p><p>Good luck,</p><p>smb12321[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
