<p>[QUOTE="griv, post: 239865, member: 8952"]If you don't know how to grade your coins then do yourself a favor and buy one that has been graded by an expert.

The old timers will tell you that they aren't perfect either but at least the industry accepts their grade without question. A NGC 70 is considered a PCGS 69 but a PCGS 70 is considered a 70. All my NGC 70 regraded at 69 so I've seen it first hand. I know you NGC fans are cursing at me know right now but even in your hearts you know I'm right. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I bought a SMS70 JFK Proof off eBay for fun and I popped it out and sent it to PCGS and it graded 67. What a joke. All these alphabet soup grading companies are scams if you ask me. I really wish someone would really step up and give PCGS some competition as there are too many 70s coming out these days, except the ones I submit of course. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
