<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Midas, post: 66728, member: 2761&quot;]I am a big fan of ICG.&nbsp; I think their slab with the Intercept Shield offers second to none protectioin.&nbsp; Their service is good as well.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Their grading for coins <u>below</u> MS67 is right on whereas I think they are too liberal for grades above MS68.&nbsp; The same holds for Proof coins...there seems to be a lot of PR70 coins in their &quot;inventory&quot;.&nbsp; Their employees are NOT allowed to own coins and all in all, they do a great job.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>So why would I submit coins to PCGS instead of ICG?</b>&nbsp; Put it this way...<b>IF</b> I am going to pay a silver membership of $49 and submission fees of $18 to $30/coin for your basic service, it is because I KNOW that <b>if </b> I had to sell the coin, the prices I will get for that coin in a PCGS holder is <u>far</u> <u>greater </u> than NGC, ICG and ANACS.&nbsp; The rest of the services I wouldn&#039;t waste my money submitting to, though I have picked up some nice coins in PCI and SEGS holders at prices far less than what I would pay if they were in PCGS or NGC holders.</p><p><br /></p><p>Look at any auction house like Heritage, PCGS coins all have prices realized much higher than NGC, ANACS, ICG, etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>Blame it on hype, registry sets, marketing, or whatever, the FREE MARKET has spoken.</p><p><br /></p><p>So...use your money wisely and submit to the service you know that will obtain the highest returns (if you had to liquidate).&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I just sold a 1924-D AU55 Lincoln graded by ANACS and I have one listed graded by PCGS, also a AU55.&nbsp; Guess which is obtaining (way more) higher dollars realized?&nbsp; Again, the market speaks![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
