IMO, ICG &amp; ANACS tend to spot more problems and detail grade more coins than the other two.

I would not recommend a beginner buy these coins, until they can discern problems and grade for themselves. <span style="color: #b30000">I would recommend a beginner buy coins from all 4 and usually the ANACS, ICG coin in the same grade and just as pretty will be cheaper! </span>I would not recommend buying coins in these holders for most other people because they don&#039;t hold their value <span style="color: #b30000">(?) We can say that about all 4 TPGS. Hold their value?&nbsp; Try explaining to a beginner that a PCGS, NGC MS-66 Saint has held its value <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie15" alt=":arghh:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie96" alt=":vomit:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie105" alt=":yuck:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie46" alt=":facepalm:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> The value of all 4 services slabs fluctuates with the market. </span>, and will be harder to resell. <span style="color: #b30000">That is usually true; however, great coins sell like hotcakes no matter the slab.&nbsp; </span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>IMO the only reason to spend more money on an NGC or PCGS coin is that there is more demand (so they usually DO bring more money).&nbsp; I&#039;ll give you that <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie66" alt=":muted:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie45" alt=":eggface:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> as I have heard many dealers at shows say they love second tier slabbed coins, prefer the speed, cost and customer service at ANACS and ICG but the coins don&#039;t bring as much money.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I say GOOD.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie47" alt=":greedy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie47" alt=":greedy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie47" alt=":greedy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie47" alt=":greedy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> More gems for collectors who buy the coin NOT the slab to make out like bandits!<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie50" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie50" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie50" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>PS I&#039;m ordering your grading book next week so I can really get into your head <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie50" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
