Message:: [QUOTE="DANIEL HENRIQUEZ, post: 4200862, member: 76821"]Here is the best answer and honest answer you will ever get. ANACS is the oldest coin grading while NGC & PCGS are the next two and most prominent nowadays. That is not to say they are best or not because although they grade objectively, they value incorrectly as they use sales figures from Ebay and other discount site. While this may give a widespread value, many whom frequent these sites and possibly purchase are NOT doing so at high prices or retail meaning, buyers are acquiring coins well below actual values. Then, NGC & PCGS compile ALL this sales data and conclude an "average" value thru ALL. The importance of this is that "population" of grades are not used so, a coin with ONLY 456 in Grade 70 can be valued at $25 instead of nearly 8 times that much since 456 from a mintage of 3.75 million is very low and considered "Top Pop". So, if you want the accurate grade, any of the three are fine but, if you are seeking accurate value, none are true. Hope this helps.[/QUOTE]
