[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 1072487, member: 112"]But the same is true with all special designations. In each case NGC has tougher standards than PCGS does. Hmmm - if you use the 2010 Proof ASE coin as an example, which out of the 44,000+ plus total graded by PCGS, that 36,000+ of that 44,000 were graded as PF70 DCAM by PCGS - it seems that PCGS has pretty dang loose standards on that basis ! Ahhhh but there are also plenty of examples where the NGC graded coins bring more money than those slabbed by PCGS. Of course this doesn't really prove anything because any knowledgeable collector knows that no 2 coins are the same even if they are the same grade. And even if they are graded by the same company you will see 1 bringing more or less money than the other. To be honest, in my opinion both companies have loosened their standards to the point that it has become a joke ![/QUOTE]
