<p>[QUOTE="Joshua Lemons, post: 26099947, member: 82388"]My collection is about evenly split between PCGS and NGC. I submit coins regularly to NGC myself after selecting them from the wild, so I would say, I purchase more PCGS slabs. The reason I've purchased many PCGS slabs is simple, a few sellers I deal with use them as their grading company. </p><p><br /></p><p>I've bought ANACS and ICG coins too. I think their grading is good. I've cracked out exactly one coin from these two. The ANACS bumped up a point and gained a star, the ICG downgraded one.</p><p><br /></p><p>I always look at the coin in the holder. The old saying is buy the best you can afford, but I'll buy a graded 62 over a 64 if the 64 has terrible toning or eye appeal. I see sellers all the time talking about toners they have and the coins are plain ugly. I love to look at my coins. I have on several occasions sold or traded coins because I simply didn't like the looks of them. </p><p>So, I have more NGC coins because I submit there. I buy more PCGS because the dealers I tend to buy from submit there. I have very few ANACS and no ICG, mostly because they have few of my collecting area certified. I don't own any CACG because they don't grade world coins. I'm not particular about grading company, as long as I love the coin inside the holder.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
