<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 739132, member: 13650&quot;]Sounds like you&#039;re well on your way to getting everything straightened out.&nbsp; PCGS is located in Newport Beach, CA.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; I actually prefer NGC slabs.&nbsp; I think they look nicer.&nbsp; But it&#039;s personal preference.&nbsp; They are definitely the top two in the country.&nbsp; As far as which one grades stricter or which slab is better, you may as well take a poll as to who makes a better truck.&nbsp; Ford or Chevy?&nbsp;&nbsp; No definitive answer.&nbsp;&nbsp; It&#039;s basically a toss up.&nbsp; &nbsp; FWIW, both places were started by the same guy.&nbsp;&nbsp; There&#039;s arguments for both places.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; You noticed they didn&#039;t wear gloves too, huh?&nbsp; Yeah, some of us noticed that as well and were pretty surprised.&nbsp;&nbsp; They did handle them by the edges but still!&nbsp; You think they would for the video at least!!&nbsp;&nbsp; They must feel they are careful enough handling them by the edges.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; FWIW, the owner of this nearly one of a kind, 1804 Class 1 silver dollar (sold at auction for $3.7 million dollars), trusted NGC to put it in a slab.&nbsp; If that&#039;s any consolation....</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;<a href="http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=1104&amp;LotIdNo=7001#" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=1104&amp;LotIdNo=7001#" rel="nofollow">http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=1104&amp;LotIdNo=7001#</a></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; I don&#039;t trust the shipping companies all that much either.&nbsp; Mistakes can happen and they&#039;re in a hurry.&nbsp;&nbsp; Mistakes are probably far more common than actual theft.&nbsp;&nbsp; I&#039;ve ordered quite a bit and if I had to guess, i&#039;ve had probably a 97% success rate over the years receiving things and on time.&nbsp;&nbsp; The glaring reality of that..... it his not 100% success.&nbsp; Few people who order a lot could claim that.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; Seriously, you have enough there to warrant traveling to NGC,&nbsp; dropping them off in person and going back and getting them in person.&nbsp; If I inherited that much, I would do the same and I live in Illinois.&nbsp;&nbsp; I&#039;d highly recommend that if they will accept submissions in person.&nbsp; Just have to give them a call.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
