[QUOTE="physics-fan3.14, post: 2219630, member: 19165"]The choice of company largely depends on your coins and your intentions: If you want a cheap company to put plastic around it, use ANACS. They aren't terribly well respected, and they are rather inconsistent, and your coins won't sell for nearly as much. But at least they'll be in fancy cases. The one area that ANACS does well is variety attribution. If you have ultra-high grade moderns and want to milk as much money as you can from Registry suckers, go with PCGS. If you have coins eligible for strike designations, or world coins, absolutely go with NGC. NGC is much stricter on strike designations, and people who collect them will pay a premium over any other slab for NGC's strike designations. NGC is also by far the leader for world coins - why people send world coins to PCGS is a mystery to me. For pretty much anything else, either NGC or PCGS is fairly equivalent.[/QUOTE]
