<p>[QUOTE=&quot;physics-fan3.14, post: 26654490, member: 19165&quot;]It depends... Answer a few questions first:</p><p><br /></p><p>1. Are you looking to add it to a Registry set? NGC, PCGS, and CACG have registries where you can compete. </p><p><br /></p><p>2. What grade range are you looking for? Low circulated, mid-to-high circulated, UNC, or high grade? For any circulated coin, I&#039;d feel confident with NGC, PCGS, CACG, ANACS, or ICG. </p><p><br /></p><p>3. Do you have any other certified coins? For some, they want all of their coins in matching holders (I might be a little OCD on this front. The vast majority of my collection is NGC).</p><p><br /></p><p>4. Are you looking to hold this for a very long time (maybe even pass it to your heirs), or is there a potential to sell in a few years? If there is a potential to sell, stick to NGC, PCGS, or CACG. </p><p><br /></p><p>Short answer - I can see no case where you go wrong with NGC, PCGS, or CACG. ANACS and ICG are reputable but generally less popular. If you can get a great deal on one of them, I guess go for it, but realize that ANACS and ICG will also be harder to sell for a good premium. </p><p><br /></p><p>In any case, make sure you&#039;re buying an accurately graded, problem free coin with great eye appeal. That will be a desirable coin in any of the top holders. </p><p><br /></p><p>And... to prove I have experience with what I&#039;m talking about, we need pictures... Here&#039;s my NGC EF-40: </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1700502[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1700503[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
