[USER=37839]@Morgandude11[/USER] is a very knowledgeable collector...I’m really surprised that your this irritated with Skip. Sure, he has his own style but he is a renowned numismatist. Just because he works for a TPG doesn’t mean his view of this field or the relative place of his employer makes him biased. I agree, PCGS and NGC are the kings when it comes to resale value and market faith. But from what I have seen, ICG grades coins accurately. From an investment standpoint (meaning maximizing resale)...I wouldn’t use them but if I have no concerns purchasing a coin in one of their slabs and I have total faith in their authenticity.  I would also have no concern letting them grade one of my coins if resale wasn’t my top priority. We can all learn more.  There is so much to know when it comes to numismatics. [USER=24314]@Insider[/USER] is an amazing resource. Do you have to look past some of his quirks...absolutely. But there is a ton to learn from him and I wouldn’t be so fast to hit ignore.[/QUOTE]
