[QUOTE="Kasia, post: 3411142, member: 31533"]I would dispute that their product is better or a better description. As far as why not spread the business around, why do that for that purpose alone if you or me or others using a business is to accomplish something productive other than to spread the business around. As far as getting mine quickly, I have used NGC once and immediately realized for me that submitting batches of coins was not worth it until I could realistically and with regularity accurately predict the resultant grade I would get on the coins, so as of now I use none. I prefer to buy, and prefer to buy PCGS over others. Why? Because they hold value. And I buy for the coins value usually (rare cases someone might pay more if the coin is special) and not the slab so I basically have encapsulated coins that I have no $$$ into the actual slabbing. I think your reasons are specious because unless you want to treat coin slabbing as just equal to phone/cellular service, where you liken PCGS and NGC to a monopoly like Ma Bell and the Baby Bells, which PCGS/NGC certainly are not. A better characterization of your reasoning in this regard might be fencing or roofing companies in a city. You get your fences constructed and/or roofs redone and you are looking to get the job done. If it is by the major ones in town, great, but you are not looking to sell your home based on who put up your fence or who roofed your house. But it is a fact that in PCGS and NGC are the slabbed coin leaders and their slabs count.[/QUOTE]
