[QUOTE="Leadfoot, post: 656484, member: 2972"]Myself personally, I really would see little difference between the two services. That said, the NGC way of providing a details grade and identifying the problems by name, in my opinion, is the best way to handle these coins. I also like the distinctive look of the new NGC slabs, and that helps differentiate them further in the eyes of the consumer. However, I thought they could have simply added the details grade to the NCS slabs and be done with it. In comparison, PCGS kind of watered down their name by doing it with essentially a look-alike slab and the word "Genuine". Further adding to the confusion is their use of a two-digit code rather than naming the problem directly. Each has its advantages, and I can see, frankly, how both could be used to fool novices, but suppose that's possible with virtually any solution. So overall I like the way NGC did it, but in reality I view the PCGS coins in the same light. All of the above IMO...Mike p.s. I do own more than a few problem coins. Just hopefully not too many problem coins in slabs. ;)[/QUOTE]
