<p>[QUOTE="KSorbo, post: 1824080, member: 56370"]I understand that PCGS/NGC have the tightest standards and that the coins graded by the lower tier PCG's consequently trade for less. However, superc's statement still raises an interesting question. Is an ANAC's or ICG slab truly "worthless" or does it still provide at least some indication of a coin's acceptability? For example, if a coin has been cleaned but the cleaning isn't blatantly obvious, and it is slabbed problem free by ANACS/ICG, will it still trade for more than "problem" money, or more than it would if the coin was raw? It seems to me that if I had a coin that was lightly cleaned and I knew it wouldn't pass at PCGS/NCG, but had a shot at a "problem free" grade from the other TPG's, then it would still sell for more in one of those slabs than if it were raw or in a "details" holder?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
