<p>[QUOTE="Chas Carlson, post: 2575709, member: 82417"]I'm sure there are as many answers on the subject of third party graders (TPG's) as there are coin collectors. The three most popular TPGS are: ANACS, NGC and PCGS (not in that order). There are many others (like ICG), but I would recommend to stick with the top three. As far as the top three are concerned, PCGS is widely regarded as the "top", although an excellent case can be made for NGC being the best as well. Many argue that NGC is the best to buy, and PCGS is the best if you are selling. ANACS has been in business the longest of all these. They all have their pros and cons. For my graded Franklin collection, I buy NGC and PCGS, and have not noticed a difference in quality.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
