<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Evgeny, post: 2158289, member: 74697&quot;]Dear visitors this site,</p><p><br /></p><p>I am a collector with more than 25 year experience.</p><p><br /></p><p>I just read a lot of posts telling that PCGS is better than NGC.</p><p>I submitted more than 200 modern Russian coins to PCGS - in fact, it was a BIG mistake. After a year, roughly half of the coins received multiple milk spots. I am keeping coins in metallic safe, normal room temperature, far from heaters.</p><p><br /></p><p>The main reason of modern coin grading is not even grading itself but preservation. Of cause, it is better not to keep coins with grade below 69. Anyway, preservation is the main reason.</p><p><br /></p><p>This spots are CHEMICAL spots, not patina or something else. I think cheap PCGS plastic contains chlorine. This never happen with NGC. I have a lot of coins from Soviet times in NGC hoders - mirror is preserved for more than 20 year - absolutely spot-free. Interesting observation - even some modern gold start changing color in PCGS holders - orange patina.</p><p><br /></p><p>Do not read this boo...t about superior PCGS</p><p><br /></p><p>Do not submit modern silver to PCGS - in a year or two you will REGRET a lot.</p><p>Do not spoil your modern collection. NGC and only NGC.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you</p><p><br /></p><p>Evgeny[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
