<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BooksB4Coins, post: 2575721, member: 36230&quot;]Do you care about FBL? If so, there absolutely is a difference between PCGS and NGC, and is due to their individual standards required in order to meet said designation. PCCS concerns themselves with only the bottom lines while NGC requires both sets.*</p><p><br /></p><p>Unfortunately, and as with many things in life, it&#039;s all too easy to make a complex question into a simple one. PCGS fanboys will often press that they&#039;re the best, while NGC fans do the same, but all comes down to individual wants, desires, and of course the coin itself. As the other gentleman said though, and right or wrong, certain coins generally do better in certain holders.</p><p><br /></p><p>That said, and even though ANACS appears to be doing a better or more consistent job these days (or so it&#039;s been said), their holders carry a lot of baggage and generally lack the liquidity of the top two while often achieving lesser prices. This isn&#039;t to say it&#039;s always warranted, but is something to consider or keep in mind if you follow through with this set. If genuinely able to properly grade for yourself and not wishing to play the registry game, you&#039;d be wise to focus only on the coin and not the holder as they&#039;ve all slabbed utter dogs, and such coins often bounce around until ending up with people simply buying the plastic.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s a link that may interest you...</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.caccoin.com/reference-sets/franklin-half-dollar-reference-set/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.caccoin.com/reference-sets/franklin-half-dollar-reference-set/" rel="nofollow">http://www.caccoin.com/reference-sets/franklin-half-dollar-reference-set/</a></p><p><br /></p><p><font size="1">* written before seeing Rick&#039;s post.</font>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
