[QUOTE="snewman, post: 1520989, member: 31036"]Disclaimer: Not looking for this to become a "I love PCGS" or "I love NGC" thread. Obviously, in the USA, we tend to favor PCGS/NGC (in some order) and ANACS tends to run a slow third. In Canada, people seemed to prefer coins graded by some company (I think called) I.C.C.G., but maybe that is shifting a bit towards US companies. What about the rest of the world? I recently picked up a 1927 Great Britain Penny graded MS 66 RB by NGC and according to the logs, it is the top of the population as the only 66 graded by the big two - but there haven't been THAT many coins graded (~20 from the year). Is that because collectors in England do something else with their coins? Is there just no market so nobody grades them? It is virtually a one year type (1926 had a very limited mintage). I am surprised that I got it for just a bit over $100 and love the coin - here's a photo of it - still trying to get a photo of it with all the color I see in hand: [ATTACH]198747.vB[/ATTACH] Thanks, -snewman[/QUOTE]
