[QUOTE="Insider, post: 7586288, member: 24314"]You can Poo-Poo any TPGS ranked below the top two but some folks may be making a "killing" buying older slabs FROM ANY of the decent services: NGC PCGS SEGS PCI (not gold labels) ICG ANACS Even coins graded in the 80's - 90's by the top two often increase in grade. I'm doing quality control at a large submission of slabs from PCI (no longer in business) that have been graded/finalized by our other graders. Then they will be cracked and put in an ICG slab. Some were graded in the large PCI slab before I worked there and others were in the green or red "banknote" label slabs. It is an eye opener that confirms what we all know. Many AU's are now MS and some cleaned coins are now "market acceptable." For example: AU-55 to 61; AU-55 to 63; MS-60 Cleaned to 61; etc. Fifty seven more to check... :D[/QUOTE]
