<p>[QUOTE="jester3681, post: 2426907, member: 53130"]This is kind of a loaded question: If it is a coin for my private collection, there is no threshold. I prefer PCGS, and get Secure with TrueView. Part of this is it saves me a trip to the bank to see the coins, part of it is my OCD. </p><p><br /></p><p>Now, if it is a coin I would intend to move on, the question gets trickier. I like to net 25% on sales, which sometimes happens in spades and sometimes doesn't happen at all. That said, submissions range from $15-250 and up, so I would use that to factor in the cost of goods. Also, certain coins and exonumia tend to do better in certain holders. I have all of my Civil War tokens in PCGS (see my OCD above), but if I were grading CWT to sell, NGC is a no brainer. Not that one is better at grading or attribution, but NGC has been in the CWT game longer and has a more established reputation.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
