[QUOTE="cpm9ball, post: 1080079, member: 24633"]I prefer NGC, but your statement doesn't bother me as much as you might think. What I do choose to take issue with is your assertion that "....the vast majority of US coins are worth more in PCGS holders....". Unless you are a specialist in every denomination and type and you have the complete documentation to prove it, you can't realistically make this claim. Nonetheless, if people want to pay more for a particular coin in a PCGS slab compared to a similar one that is equally and properly graded in an NGC slab, it's their money and they can do what they want with it. I'd rather pay less and be able to buy more coins. This is only an assumption, but isn't part of the differences in values due to the fact that PCGS only allows PCGS slabs in their Registry? What do you think would happen if PCGS also allowed NGC slabs in their Registry the way NGC allows PCGS slabs in their Registry? I prefer NGC because I believe that their customer service is better, and their certification fees are lower. Also, if NGC slabs a problem coin, they will at least identify the problem on the insert. PCGS prefers to "hide" it in their coding. Why is that? Are they ashamed to admit that a problem coin is in one of their slabs? Of course, all of this is just my opinion and wonderment. Chris[/QUOTE]
