[QUOTE="C-B-D, post: 2759935, member: 43130"]I disagree, as a person who submits to both NGC and PCGS. Grading standards ebb and flow. Recently, NGC has tightened up. I personally sent in 2 Morgan's and 2 Walking Liberty Halves. Each one came back a point lower than they should have. The whole order. So the Morgans were easily MS65's and they graded MS64. One Walker was a Fine and came back VG08, the other was a Gemmy MS66 that they graded MS65+. PCGS goes thru these waves as well, where they loosen their standards and then tighten them a few months later. I've seen this more than a handful of times since joining PCGS in 2008. Additionally, as a Capped Bust Half guy, NGC has been laughed at for a decade, often grading them AU55 when PCGS grades the same coin XF45. But look at the recent bust halves coming out of NGC, and you'll see that they are now as strict as PCGS. And yes, PCGS remains consistently tough on that series.[/QUOTE]
