<p>[QUOTE="cpm9ball, post: 1342240, member: 24633"]Jason, you can't generalize one way or the other (+ or -) about the two companies. Both have their strengths and weaknesses. Unfortunately, in my opinion, PCGS likes to play politics too often, and you know that politicians have a tendency to "toot their own horn" much of the time. I prefer NGC because they just keep their mouth shut and go about their business.</p><p><br /></p><p>NGC has always been tougher on FBL than PCGS. There are also instances where I have seen coins downgraded on crossovers from NGC slabs, and also instances of upgrades when a coin is cracked out of an NGC slab and submitted to PCGS. To me, it's just one of the games that PCGS plays. For instance, I have a 98-O Morgan that used to be in an ANACS MS63DMPL. I cracked it out and submitted it to NGC and it came back in a bodybag (old method) for "Altered Surfaces". The same coin without any dipping or treatment of any kind was submitted to PCGS and it came back MS64PL.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
