Message:: [QUOTE="dannic113, post: 1438313, member: 35203"]Way too many factors to decide anything conclusively. Grading itself is subjective and it's worse as to why one is better than the other. The main factors for even having TPG's in the first place let alone trying to figure out which on is better are 1)too many people can't grade (nothing to do with skill or experience so much as laziness to learn/try. 2)too many counterfeits and dishonest people out there. Dealers, ebay, collectors, CHINA!!! etc. all barrels have bad apples in them. 3)the profitablility factor not just the TPG's or the bulk submitters but for ebay and the top pop/registry chasers too they all contribute something to the problem. I have both; however I do have more NGC than PCGS for two reasons. I started with NGC morgan's and eagles because of the price difference. When someone is magically jacking the price up an extra $10 over the value of the coin just because it's a PCGS it makes you walk away. So now if I want uniformity they now have to continually be NGC or they look out of place. If I just want to buy any old gold piece or wheat cent I don't care which holder as long as I'm paying only what the coin is worth or less. Preferrably less..lol.[/QUOTE]
