<p>[QUOTE=&quot;calcol, post: 4994850, member: 77639&quot;]IF you have or are thinking about having competitive registry sets and hope to get a best set award, there is a big difference between PCGS and NGC.&nbsp; To get an award from PCGS, you not only must have the best set, but it must also be 95% complete.&nbsp; This means if the set has fewer than 20 coins, it must be 100% complete.&nbsp; There are some exceptions.&nbsp; For sets with an enormous number of slots, 500 (!) coins are enough to qualify.&nbsp; And if the “judges” deem the set worthy enough, they can allow less than 95% completion.&nbsp; This is a high bar and is the reason that in many categories, no set has ever received a best set award.</p><p><br /></p><p>At NGC though, you only need to have the best set regardless of % completion to get an annual award for best set.&nbsp; So, come the annual cutoff date, if a set has 33 slots and you have only 3 coins in it, but you have the best set, you’ll get an award.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, if you’re a serious competitor and would like to get an award for best set, your best chance is with NGC.</p><p><br /></p><p>BTW the annual cutoff dates differ between the two services:&nbsp; June 30 for PCGS and Dec 31 for NGC.</p><p><br /></p><p>Cal[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
