<p>[QUOTE=&quot;MIGuy, post: 8342790, member: 116145&quot;]I find this such an amusing debate, I have only submitted to ICG so far (love that Cointalk special) but I&#039;m not concerned about resale and I&#039;m not an investor, it&#039;s the marvelous history and beauty of these little objects that commands me - I do intend on submitting to ANACS when and if they have a special just to check it out, and I&#039;m inevitably going to submit some of my nicer foreign pieces and medals to NGC, because ICG is brutal on those, with hammered medieval coins being labeled damaged and VF in condition that is identical to straight AU in NGC slabs.&nbsp; I feel NGC has more depth of expertise in certain areas (medieval foreign and early medals among them), but I do love those ICG graders and the process of double and triple checks at all of the big 4 TPGs is impressive - I&#039;m looking mostly for an education and assurance of authenticity in my submissions.&nbsp; I haven&#039;t had the good fortune to find any of my submissions to ICG being overgraded, though I have a few over and undergraded coins from all four of the TPGs in my collection (IMO).&nbsp; I am well aware that my PCGS slabs will probably command a premium if and when I ever need to sell any, because the market is about emotion, more than anything else.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
