<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Phoenix21, post: 311236, member: 7424&quot;]Welcome to the Forum. Hope you enjoy yourself here. The top four grading services to stick with when buying rare or slabbed coins are:</p><p><br /></p><p>NGC</p><p>PCGS</p><p>ANACS</p><p>ICG</p><p><br /></p><p>Those are considered the top four, the best in the league. Not saying that they don&#039;t make mistakes, but if you are buying slabbed coins and are a beginner, stick with those four. Here is a suggestion though: Buy a book on grading coins, or borrow one from your local Library. Also learn the different grades on the Sheldon coin grading scale. Learning to grade will probably be one of the most benefical things you will learn in this hobby. Learning to grade can be a lot of fun, and can also save you a lot of money. NPG I would stay away from, there are on my self slabber list. I personally though haven&#039;t seen or bought any coins in a NPG slab though. What coin are you looking at that is slabbed by them? Could you post a pic or auction to the coin? We might be able to help you better off that way. Best of luck, and I look forward to seeing you around. I hope my advice has helped you in some way, and I&#039;m sure others will come and offer more to you. Take care.</p><p><br /></p><p>Phoenix <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie6" alt=":cool:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
