<p>[QUOTE=&quot;National dealer, post: 20354, member: 487&quot;]That is an easy one. I personally prefer using NGC, as I believe that their standards are more strict at this time. So I will give a break down of how the decision gets made.</p><p><br /></p><p>1. Customer preferrence. The vast majority of my holdings are &quot;sold&quot; or &quot;reserved&quot; by my customers before I ever purchase the coin. A lot of wantlist material.</p><p><br /></p><p>2. Open market value of coin. PCGS still holds a slight edge in the market of most US coins. So if the value is enough, the coins go to PCGS.</p><p><br /></p><p>3. Any variety concerns. Each grading company has their own rules for attributing varieties. </p><p><br /></p><p>4. If any coin has seen some cleaning or has a problem or an off the wall variety, they are sent to Anacs. </p><p><br /></p><p>5. Lastly, some coins receive different standards by different graders. Now this is true within the same company. I have submitted a coin multiple times to the same company and received different grades. NGC as of today has a more consistent grading scheme. Now this has changed and probably will again.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
