<p>[QUOTE="sturmgrenadier, post: 1086273, member: 18711"]I collect only PCGS early commemoratives, so I guess it is kind of ironic/strange that I have joined the NGC registry. I like NGC's system better than PCGS's, because the former utilizes a points scoring system with clearly defined point values for all coins in every grade. I find the PCGS scoring formula to be harder to understand (with the qualifier that I'm far from the brightest guy out there<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> I also find the NGC interface to be more intuitive to use. I was able to basically 'run with it' when I started. I am not hyper-competitive (and realize that I will never be able to assemble one of the top collections), but I also like knowing information such as how many points I need to move up a rank. Also, for what is basically a freeware product, I have found NGC support to be very responsive (I had problems with getting their system to register my coins, but the representatives were professional and resolved the issue promptly). I still participate in PCGS registry, but not with the same vigor. Anyhow, this obviously only my opinion and experience, and I leave open the possibility that I may be wrong....[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
