<p>[QUOTE="mark_h, post: 1774301, member: 3726"]Yes - it is true for someone reselling also. Yes - with PCGS and NGC I think you can reasonably assume it is close. The key will be identifying the choice coins for the grade - not all 64's are equal. Which is the point of buy the coin not the plastic. Personally I think the plastic from NGC/PCGS is a good guarantee it is genuine. Sometimes even knowledgeable dealers make a mistake on that. To me the best thing you can do is look at lots of coins while learning to grade. Learn the series you are looking for - then you can identify some of the choice coins for the grade.</p><p> </p><p>Everyone has their own opinion on who is best and who they like. I prefer PCGS over NGC, but that does not mean I pass up all NGC coins. I mainly look at ICG, ANACS, PCGS and NGC. If I saw the right coin in an ANACS or ICG holder I would still buy it. I might even cross it over. Heck even my father found some bottom feeder tpg coins and crossed them to PCGS. Make a little money, but nothing huge.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
