<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Morgandude11, post: 7693754, member: 37839&quot;]I don’t disagree with you about grading standards.&nbsp; NGC is as tough, and often tougher on certain coin series. Franklins are much tougher graded by NGC.&nbsp; So are Jefferson Nickels.&nbsp; Even Morgans—when I had my set of 97 Morgan regular strikes, 54 were PCGS, and 53 were NGC.&nbsp; I value them equally.&nbsp; In fact, NGC offers something for toned coins that PCGS does not—the very valued star designation.</p><p><br /></p><p>The main difference I see between the two is perception.&nbsp; Many high end collectors insist on a PCGS certification, or they won’t buy the coin. I ran into that when I sold high end toned Morgans.&nbsp; In fact, I had to reholder a few high grade monster toned Morgans at my expense before a few sellers would buy them.&nbsp; Top celebrated toned Morgans, such as “The Moose” have been reholdered prior-to sale.&nbsp; The same goes for top registry coins in highest grades—some buyers insist on the PCGS/ CAC combination, or they won’t even bid.&nbsp; Do I agree with this practice?&nbsp; No.&nbsp; I see the two companies, and grading to be equal.&nbsp; However, there are irrational market perceptions, and they are hard to fight.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
