<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jaelus, post: 3854355, member: 46237&quot;]Except that I made a speculation, not a statement of fact. And it is based on years of experience with PCGS world coins. When I see a world coin in a PCGS slab that I feel is graded correctly, I am <i>literally</i> surprised. That didn&#039;t just happen overnight.</p><p><br /></p><p>Some caveats, the slabbed world coins I deal in are Austria, Hungary, Mexico, Canada, and Spanish Colonial. And actually, I think PCGS&#039; grading for Canada is higher quality than for the other countries. Perhaps they have too much competition in the Canadian market to get it wrong, considering ICCS, CCCS, and NGC. Their grading for Austria and Hungary is quite bad, however.</p><p><br /></p><p>When I&#039;m at Whitman next week, I&#039;ll take note of how many world dealers use PCGS instead of NGC. I&#039;ve not missed a show in many years, and I can tell you, it will be the vast minority and likely similar to this poll.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t see much evidence to support your opinions here that PCGS is so widely respected in world. If this is true, or perhaps true that there are simply some countries they do very well on, due to in-house expertise, I&#039;d like to know.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
