<p>[QUOTE="Tater, post: 2624745, member: 9717"]This is something that we have discussed here in the past. PCGS call it what you want is not as consistent as NGC. From the small sample size of graded coins that I have looked at over the years it is obvious that with both companies you can see variances or errors in opinion on grades. If I'm looking for a nice MS 63 graded peace dollar the what I will call grade band for MS 63 is far greater for PCGS. You will find far more coins that should/could be MS 62 or MS 64 sitting in a MS 63 holder with PCGS than that of NGC. This plays into the crack out game as you have all mentioned and inflates the pop reports, why wouldn't PCGS do this its more money for them it also the reason why you see more CAC sticker-ed PCGS slabs you have greater odds of that low end 64 coin being in a 63 holder so of coarse its high end for the grade. </p><p><br /></p><p>I will say that my recent submission to NGC for IKE dollars was brutal and have been wondering if they have now turned to under grading coins in that series.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
