<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gmarguli, post: 129257, member: 246&quot;]But you ignored and continue to ignore a VERY substantial part of the submission process: The Consistency of the Grading Service. </p><p><br /></p><p>You are assuming that you take an MS65 and can submit it to NGC or PCGS and get an MS65 grade. That is completely untrue. PCGS is all over the map when giving grades. You submit that MS65 to NGC and it grades MS65. You submit it to PCGS and it comes back MS64, then bodybagged for cleaning, then MS64, then MS65. That inconsistency costs money. You have to factor that into the cost when selling these coins.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, a NUMBER OF FACTORS - not just the selling price. You need to look at the cost of getting it into the correct slab.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Also, moderns and copper coins will sel for more in PCGS slabs. PCGS plays games with the populations of moderns to keep prices high. As for copper, they guarantee the color which NGC did not in the past.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
