<p>[QUOTE=&quot;brg5658, post: 1627230, member: 29751&quot;]I don&#039;t know anyone who collects <b>world coins</b> (i.e., non-USA coins) who considers PCGS to be better.&nbsp; Among world coins, NGC has about 90% of the market and is far more respected with grading.</p><p><br /></p><p>In terms of USA coins, PCGS and NGC are pretty much on par with one another.&nbsp; It&#039;s funny that everyone likes to forget that small study 10 years ago where PCGS was found to be the most conservative (i.e., they averaged 1 point lower grade than the other companies), but they also had the highest variance (i.e., their grades were inconsistent -- all over the place if the same coin was submitted more than once).&nbsp; I&#039;d personally say, NGC may be less conservative on <i><b>some </b></i>USA coins, but they are far more consistent.&nbsp; PCGS is on average more conservative (lower grades), but sometimes real dogs can get into MS66 or higher holders (inconsistent).&nbsp; I&#039;m just giving my opinions here -- as is everyone else.&nbsp; You won&#039;t find two people who agree on this subject.&nbsp; Also, as many others have mentioned, this topic has been BEAT TO DEATH in this forum.&nbsp; A subject search will yield you many threads...</p><p><br /></p><p>:dead-horse:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
