ICG is for collectible counterfeits (Henning Nickels), Certain restrikes (Gallery Mint pieces), Carr pieces, ....</p><p>2. Anacs for most Carr pieces (still preferred by many Carr fans even if they don&#039;t give 70s to overstrikes), VAMS/varieties that PCGS/NGC doesn&#039;t recognize, and cheaper coins</p><p>3. NGC/PCGS for most coins where it makes sense to pay the grading fee (i.e. the coin will be at least worth $20 more graded vs not graded...some also say that a good value cutoff is $200 for slabbing-unless it&#039;s bullion, which is usually only worth it if you get a 70, and that is not easy to determine for most looking at raw bullion)</p><p>4. Leave it raw for most bullion, modern coins, and many collector coins under $200[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
