<p>[QUOTE=&quot;sshafer11, post: 2070761, member: 67540&quot;]As a collector of pretty much only certified coins I stick to PCGS and NGC because that is all that the NGC custom registry sets allow.</p><p><br /></p><p>However, before I started my registry set I would allow for old ANACS, PCI, and ICG holders when the coins were still decent. There is an old, oft repeated saying in the hobby that you should &quot;buy the coin not the holder,&quot; which is generally true. Yet if you factor in the investment factor, and the overall consistency of the grade then you really should stick to PCGS or NGC.</p><p><br /></p><p>The market determines that PCGS is the king on higher end coins, I don&#039;t think this is always true in terms of technical grading (in this regard I think they are both similar) but&nbsp; when I factor in the investment aspect I personally prefer the two major TPG&#039;s.</p><p><br /></p><p>Given two coins of exactly the same quality I would choose the PCGS coin simply because of the market factor, not necessarily out of a personal preference.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
