<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Midas, post: 103929, member: 2761&quot;]Great job Mike!</p><p><br /></p><p>I did a statistical study of the number of PR70 graded by NGC versus PCGS and my conclusion was that in many cases, NGC awards 8 to 14 times more 70 grades of those submitted than PCGS.&nbsp; Now, I am using population reports provided by both PCGS and NGC, as there was a question why PCGS PR70 coins, for say a American Silver Eagle, cost much more than the &quot;same&quot; coin in a NGC holder.</p><p><br /></p><p>For instance, take a look at the 2000 American Silver Eagle in PR70 grades:</p><p><br /></p><p>PCGS gave out 32 PR70DCAM&#039;s out of 5341 submissions. That is just under .6%</p><p>NGC gave out 268 PR70UltraCams (same as DCAM) out of 3420 submissions. Equals to 7.8%.</p><p><br /></p><p>How about a 1999 Lincoln Proof Cent?</p><p><br /></p><p>PCGS gave out 20 PR70DCAMS out of 2376 submissions. Equal to .8%</p><p>NGC gave out 253 PR70UCAMS out of 3130 submissions. Equal to 8.0%</p><p><br /></p><p>While we are on 1999, look at Kennedys from the Silver proof set:</p><p>PCGS gave out 8 PR70DCAMs out of 2678 submissions. Equals under .3%</p><p>NGC gave out 83 PR70UCAMs out 1735 submissions. Equals under 4.8%</p><p><br /></p><p>Pretty interesting when you dive into the numbers.&nbsp; I wanted to use coins that were at least 5 years into the market as I believe those that were going to be graded, have been graded.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
