<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Morgandude11, post: 1444908, member: 37839&quot;]Oh, I agree.&nbsp; When I had my full Morgan Set assembled 10 years ago, there were a number of ANACS coins, as well as PCGS and NGC.&nbsp; Some of them were lovely, just as many ANACS coins are lovely nowadays.&nbsp; What I was getting at is that they will slab a lot of coins that have problems, and deserve a slab, and make the designation of the problems--they did that long before NGC would do the same thing--denote the problem, such as &quot;cleaned&quot; and give what the grade would be if not problematic.&nbsp; I think they are a useful service--not on a par with the two &quot;big gun&quot; TPGs, but certainly useful, and have many lovely coins residing in their holders.&nbsp; In terms of IGC, I respectfully disagree as to their place in the market.&nbsp; I think they will slab anything, and give whatever grade they feel like giving--I see them as on a par with Crapugrade, who used to slab anything.</p><p><br /></p><p>If one is ever considering resale, or trade, PCGS and NGC coins have far greater marketability, and even though their coins sell for a premium over some of the other grading services, it is worth it in terms of resale and appreciation.&nbsp; Some folks (like me) tend to change collections, and resell coins to upgrade existing ones frequently.&nbsp; Thus, market value enters into the picture in terms of slabbing.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Frankly,I&#039;d rather have a collection of raw coins that I graded and searched meticulously, than a collection with IGC and SEGS type of grading.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
