<p>[QUOTE=&quot;clembo, post: 311817, member: 8033&quot;]Okay,</p><p><br /></p><p>Finally getting back on this and as AZJack stated &quot;Sorry we hijacked your thread SouthGal&quot; but considering none of us are talking about NPG that should really answer your question.</p><p><br /></p><p>From what you have listed Doug (with a J) NGC has much stricter standards. Now I rarely slab coins and honestly haven&#039;t done much comparison but IF they hold up to their standards then they are obviously much more strict than PCGS.</p><p><br /></p><p>PCGS still gets the attention though as we all know. I have not agreed with their circulated Standing Liberty Quarter grading for years. If I go by ANA book I buy VG coins that are F12 all of the time. Come to a semi key/key date like the 27-S and that starts to mean something to the person that &quot;buys the slab&quot;.</p><p>At that point it&#039;s worth it to send in a bunch of VGs for the F12 grade to turn them at a nice profit even AFTER slabbing fees.</p><p><br /></p><p>PCGS has really built up the &quot;prestige&quot; factor through the registry sets as well. I have a friend that has a very nice collection(s) of Morgans. He&#039;s all PCGS. Cracks out NGC and even PCGS to resubmit to get that grade. He has also done multiple resubmissions on the same coin(s). Not my cup of tea as it were.</p><p><br /></p><p>I buy coins because I like them not PCGS, NGC, ANACS or any other TPG service.</p><p>Yes, I will end up slabbing many of them but not of the &quot;prestige&quot;. It will be for my wife if something happens to me. I want her to get top dollar and as much I&#039;d like to pass them along to a &quot;real&quot; collector if I&#039;m gone I just want her to get the best money possible. Kinda sucks doesn&#039;t it?....but I&#039;m being honest about it.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>The ONE point you made that did irritate me was that NGC has chenged their standards on FS Jefferson Nickels. Wow, let&#039;s just give in to public pressure here.</p><p><br /></p><p>In short (or long) that&#039;s what I think. I think a lot of other things as well as you know. I&#039;m sure those thoughts will surface as well.</p><p><br /></p><p>clembo[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
