<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CamaroDMD, post: 8342296, member: 5233&quot;]Every grading company has their own proprietary grading standards...so none are the same.&nbsp; I do believe that PCGS, NGC, ANACS, and ICG all employ competent graders and produce a good product.&nbsp; That said, the market has determined that PCGS and NGC are superior (for better or for worse).&nbsp; As a result, a coin graded by ANACS will not carry the same value as the same coin at the same grade by PCGS.</p><p><br /></p><p>I do think grades among these companies will vary by a grade or so because each uses different standards.&nbsp; I haven&#039;t studied ANACS well enough to know where they are tougher or weaker verses the other companies.</p><p><br /></p><p>If there is a coin you like in an ANACS slab and you are comfortable with the price point than go with it.&nbsp; If you&#039;re expecting it to cross to a PCGS slab at the same grade for a quick flip certainly evaluate the coin yourself as that can be a dangerous game due to differing standards.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
