[QUOTE="CamaroDMD, post: 5168333, member: 5233"]I don't think what he is saying is nonsense...what he is saying is these companies have different missions. PCGS is the big grader. They do a ton of marketing, a ton of volume, and basically run the market. Because of their standing, their coins sell for more money. They have turned collectible, subjective coins into a somewhat trade-able commodity. In this way, they are more investment driven ICG seems to be more collector focused. They are a smaller company more focused on the collector. I have no doubt I could call ICG and speak with Skip or anyone else who graded my coins and discuss it. I could use them as a resource.
