<p>[QUOTE=&quot;moneycostingmemoney, post: 2726045, member: 86367&quot;]Much truth to this statement. </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m pretty new to the hobby myself, but I notice at LCS, shows, etc the heavy hitters are in PCGS or NGC slabs. An important reoccurring theme you will see is &quot;Buy the coin, not the holder&quot; but those two seem to be held in higher regard than others. I only let the holder decide in one instance- if I see two coins in near identical shape, graded similarly and in MS range (where I do not yet feel comfortable with my grading skill); if one is ANACS and one is PCGS I&#039;m going with the PCGS. A green CAC on it as well gives that extra needed assurance in a big purchase. This all said as my own opinion and if your intent is to grade and flip the coin. </p><p><br /></p><p>I agree with [USER=28047]@rickmp[/USER] that before you spend the money post pics of the ones you&#039;d like to get slabbed on here and you will get a lot of good feedback. </p><p><br /></p><p>I started a thread pretty recently that dug into this arena and it has good insight into grading and slabbing from people that have been doing this for a while, professionally and as hobbyists. Hope it helps!</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/iyho-best-grading-and-slabbing-service.293779/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/iyho-best-grading-and-slabbing-service.293779/">https://www.cointalk.com/threads/iyho-best-grading-and-slabbing-service.293779/</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
