<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Insider, post: 2334865, member: 24314&quot;]Question?&nbsp; I have mostly read here in CT (and I disagree) that ICG is a terrible grading company, they do not belong in the same category as ANACS, NGC, or PCGS, don&#039;t buy their slabs because they are worth less than the other three, on and on...</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Can we first agree on that? </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So I have a few questions: </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>1. Is the price NCG values an MS-70 2002 Eagle something to base an IGC coin on?&nbsp; From what I read above, the OP &quot;got the coin cheap.&quot; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>2. If PCGS has a similar &quot;price guide&quot; are the prices&nbsp; the same for that piece or close?&nbsp; I thought PCGS slabs bring more money than NGC&#039;s.&nbsp; Price guides are just guides.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>3. Would a better indicator be the price these coins a going for at auction - say Ebay?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>4. If a person buys a $50 MS-70 (that is really a 69) of any date for $3000 when gold is at one price and then wants to have it replaced AFTER GOLD DROPS and the MS70&#039;s are only worth $1500; should he return it to the TPGS?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Perhaps the seller was dumping the OP&#039;s coin because of the bag mark OR as most point out, an ICG coin is worth less money. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>In my experience, the only bullion coins that are worth any &quot;real&quot; premium are the 70&#039;s and perhaps a few dates in 69.&nbsp; Guess we all should remember that there are no gifts in this business...unless you know more than the other guy <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie14" alt=":angelic:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I suggest the OP hold the coin (we all know gold is going up a ton soon due to global &amp; US crisis) and save it for the day that no one cares what the lump of gold is or how it grades - because it will be just gold when there is blood in the streets...just saying &amp; hope I&#039;m wrong - this time <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
