<p>[QUOTE=&quot;clembo, post: 420496, member: 8033&quot;]Always a hot topic and good points made already.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is why I go with SGS. Only at SGS can you get consistent MS70 coins! Okay, I got my dig in now back to earth.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have very few slabbed coins myself but we do slab a LOT at work. Problem coins go to ANACS and personally I&#039;ve never had a real problem with their grading.</p><p>PCGS STILL gets the big bucks but even if you ARE a dealer they can be a real pain in the butt to work with.</p><p><br /></p><p>NGC does seem to hand out the MS/PR 69 and 70 a lot more freely than PCGS on the modern stuff. The boss has me go through this stuff and pick what I think might go 70.</p><p>Two problems as I see it. I&#039;m NOT a professional grader and I see flaws on darn near anything.</p><p>Hate when he does this to me.</p><p>Well, quite a few have come back 70 that I picked thinking 69.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now get down to your older coins, Morgans etc and I think NGC and PCGS are neck and neck. They can both be very tough. Grades aren&#039;t just &quot;handed&quot; out.</p><p><br /></p><p>They all have their moments. I&#039;ve seen PCGS coins that I felt were highly over graded.</p><p><br /></p><p>Last week we got an NGC coin back. 1877 Indian Cent that came back as XF45. We called that a &quot;gimme&quot; cuz they sure gave it a nice grade.</p><p>No diamonds and LIBERTY very visibly worn. VF20 in our opinion and that was four of us.</p><p><br /></p><p>I do plan on starting to slab more of my coins to make it easier for my wife to sell if something should happen to me. Used to lean toward PCGS but considering that I am more into type I&#039;m now leaning toward NGC. Grading is generally very good and easier to deal with.</p><p><br /></p><p>A darn shame but put the number on plastic and she&#039;ll get better money if it comes down to that.</p><p><br /></p><p>Yep, leaning toward NGC pretty heavy these days.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
