<p>[QUOTE="Mainebill, post: 2965573, member: 44004"]I feel the big 2 are about 80% accurate most of the time. Every once in a while ok get a submission I for the most part agree with pcgs I feel napalms a few coins just to get resubmissions. I’ve had 20 coin submissions that everything was basically straight with the exception of maybe one borderline I tried to slide in and the last 3 got detailed for the most ridiculous reasons. Right now on the newest latest acquisitions I have a trade dollar. I think they were tough on it at 35 strictly original and great surfaces and eye appeal. I had it at 40. The first time they detailed it as environmental damage. I’ve had some coins come back details for 3 different reasons and none make sense. Qc environment damaged and cleaned. Simply cause they don’t like the toning. I had a large cent I sent in I cracked out of a pcgs vf details environment damage slab on the chance it would go straight. First at pcgs was tooled. Then counterfeit. Then ngc graded it straight vf 20 and I made $500 on it. I get sick of the unending inconsistencies at pcgs and often prefer ngcs grading. I personally like pcgs holders better. And they sell better. I’ve cracked out a few anacs and sent to pcgs. Had a gold $1 au 53 anacs come back as 58. Which I didn’t see. Thought it was accurate at 53. And a silver 3c anacs 62 pcgs 64. I thought a 63 upgrade was very likely but not a 64. On the other side I have a trade dollar I paid big for in an old white anacs I can’t get a straight grade on now. Keeps getting qc / at details. Which is bs. As to icg I know not much other than what I seen it means I can’t grade[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
