[QUOTE="Irish2Ice, post: 1438421, member: 28761"]I am primarily an Eisenhower (Ike) collector and as many have pointed out, the choice for PCGS vs NGC can be coin series dependent. For me (I guess I kinda drink the coolaid) this is definitely the case. PCGS is MUCH more [U]consistent[/U] than NGC when grading Eisenhowers. I can pick up 5-10 graded Eisenhowers of the same grade in NGC slabs and be in amazement at the difference in the coins. With PCGS, I can almost always see a justification for the grade. I still buy NGC coins, but I scrutinize the coin much more than a PCGS coin. For my personal graded collection, I only have PCGS coins. But, for grading purposes, varieties, errors, toners, etc, I will buy NGC. I NEVER buy NGC coins for their perspective grade with the intent of flipping for a profit or selling in the future for a profit. The only time that would happen, I would crack the properly graded NGC coin out and send to PCGS. Just my opinion and how I handle my personal collection. Take the info as you will. :)[/QUOTE]
