<p>[QUOTE=&quot;imrich, post: 1626934, member: 22331&quot;]<b>PCGS For Resale, NGC For Consistency</b></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>As Green said, we all have one, and some may consider mine as excrement, but I spent decades collecting sight-seen &quot;mint state&quot; slabbed 1907HR, 1908* WM, 1909*, 1911 through 1920 St. Gaudens. These are significant &quot;premium&quot; coins, difficult to locate dates. I generally found NGC to have the most consistent grading of the two, but for receiving the highest grade with equivalent technical characteristics, I found PCGS to be the choice. </p><p><br /></p><p>When I started to liquidate duplicates in future years, and advertised availability of both firms slabs, I&#039;d receive calls of inquiry asking which I preferred. I believed in being candid, and would generally state that it depended on the specific date/mint-mark, often recommending a NGC coin which I felt was of greater technical quality. Since I had a &quot;no questions&quot; return policy, the average buyer would purchase the PCGS coins regardless of my recommendation. I never had an NGC coin returned, but PCGS is an entirely different story, and I didn&#039;t have to ask any questions to receive their opinions.</p><p><br /></p><p>My general recommendation for potential in resale when having a coin certified, is PCGS. If I were purchasing without having the coin in hand, NGC would be my general choice, especially with certain dates/mint-marks. </p><p><br /></p><p>JMHO :thumb:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
