<p>[QUOTE="40_mila_kokkina, post: 1977397, member: 59115"]<b>The honest truth is all the grading services are not to the standard I would like.</b> They all make mistakes in grading. Companies I personally deal with to slab are: SEGS and ANACS. I'm beginning to like ANACS more though since their turn around time is more dependable than SEGS. ICG seems to be very willing to please customers as I submitted once to them but got nothing graded, they charged me nothing too and returned my coins for free with bonus supplies. Companies I would personally somewhat value the grading opinions of are: PCGS, NGC, ANACS, ICG, SEGS and maybe NTC. Even still, I've been very disappointed with all of them in some specimens they've overgraded and undergraded. </p><p><br /></p><p>NNC is not good though! Many of my slabbed coins I have from them have decayed. Also NNC overgrades terribly on many coins and they don't make any distinction between a cleaned and original coin in their grading given. They also are not reliable in that they cannot tell if a coin has been completely altered. I read horror stories about what they allow into a graded slab. A coin slabbed by NNC is totally worthless. Also PCI today is no good. They slab cleaned coins without making mention of it on their holders. Avoid them too.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
