I use NGC, PCGS, ANACS and ACCGS who I happen to like. They are very conservative, double-sided grading and they put my 1796 Quarter through a variety of tests for authenticity - comparison with museum pieces, specific gravity, outside analyst, microscopic search for &quot;old&quot; lesions, etc.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I use TPGs more for authenticity than grade since PCGS (among others) shows, how to say it nicely, a certain elasticity for &quot;preferred&quot; customers, particularly when accompanied with a note reading, &quot;Do not bother slabbing unless it grades MS65&quot;.&nbsp;&nbsp; LOL&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Take care----[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
