<p>[QUOTE="geekpryde, post: 2058924, member: 36248"]I actually do both, use NGC and my own fancy Excel version. The privacy factor is less a concern for me, else I would do as you suggest and only maintain a single database offline. I also would not limit myself to NGC or PCGS automated "coin finders", but it is certainly a nice option, especially for less tech savy people. I check my top 10 coin dealer sites daily plus eBay and 3 auction companies, and I still probably miss coins and it takes a bit of effort. (My bigger problem is that I cant only afford 1 nice coin per month). I do like the hunting and gathering aspect of it, to a point. If PCGS new "store" coin finder or the NGC / PCGS registry eBay and Collectors Corner integration can help expose the occasional coin to me I would have otherwise missed, I say its a great addition my tool belt, even if it makes it almost too "easy". I mean, PCGS can't evaluate the quality of the coin for me (yet <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> ), so these matches still need to be looked at one by one, so that hunt aspect is still in there.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
