<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 19297, member: 112&quot;]OK - let&#039;s be blunt - today PCI is at the bottom of the heap with quite a few of the others. I would not recommend buying coins in their slabs except at a substantial - and I do mean substantial - discount for the grade.</p><p><br /></p><p>However - there once was a time when a coin graded by PCI was every bit the equal of a coin graded by NGC or PCGS. And sometimes - they were more than equal - in other words NGC &amp; PCGS would actually upgrade them. But those days are long past. Every now and then a coin in one of the old PCI slabs can be found and these coins are graded correctly. But it is rare to find one now as experienced collectors and dealers are well aware of this and have been for years - so these coins are purchased in a hurry.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now let me say this - again - if you really know what you are doing - by that I mean you know how to grade correctly and accurately - you can from time to time find a correctly graded coin in any slab. It&#039;s just not easy to do so.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
