<p>[QUOTE="torontokuba, post: 1789754, member: 56793"]The 2 ply plastic holders at ICCS leave a lot to be desired. The inside plastic sleeve often cracks during shipping. I have no idea if both are PVC free. Taking photos is a hassle at best. The only pluses are the consistent conservative grades (not making a mockery of our best Canadian TPGS) and the inexpensive shipping of lightweight holders (no guarantees that the inner sleeve won't arrive cracked from transport during one of our winters). I prefer PCGS, then in second NGC, with ICCS, ANACS and ICG being a toss up in third and always depending on the deal. That being said, I do not have a lot of any grading, still enjoying the ability to come in contact with my coins. I'm also lucky because I like US coins quite a bit, making PCGS and NGC the perfect choice, since I believe they specialize in those.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p> </p><p>After getting a discount on this ICCS Voyageur dollar, I had to buy another in UNC, just to have the ability to hold it by the edges and not look at it through two layers of clear plastic, air bubbles, etc...</p><p> </p><p>[ATTACH=full]288568[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]288569[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
