<p>[QUOTE="mhinchley, post: 4442, member: 689"]I generally only purchase graded coins, especially over the net, however I do stray from that occasionally when I see a deal I can't pass up. When I buy graded coins it is only from the top 4 PCGS, ICG, NGC, and Anacs. I am not as fond of anacs though because in my experience I have had a couple questionably graded coins of theirs. PCGS seems to bring the most money in resale so I like to buy them when I run across them for a good price. But I use ICG when I want to have a coin graded because I beleive their holders to be the best over a period of time (I have read about some holders actually contaminating the coin over a period of time). Better safe than sorry. And besides that, their membership fee is only $15 a year to submit coins, rather that $100's wanted by some others. But that is just me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
