<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bart9349, post: 1439708, member: 5682&quot;]I was surprised at the biased responses in this thread till I realized it was embedded in the US forum, a forum I rarely visit.</p><p><br /></p><p>One reason that NGC is respected is that they had a much greater presence in World (non-US) coins, especially World gold. This is now changing since PCGS now has diversified more into World coinage.</p><p><br /></p><p>I like the fact that NGC would also certify (entomb) this medal:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]176980.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]176981.vB[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Oh, wait. This is not a ultra-modern US PCGS-graded whatever. I can&#039;t put it on my registry? My friends in the eleventh grade won&#039;t be impressed.</p><p><br /></p><p>The &quot;so-called-experts&quot; who insist only on PCGS stuff are possibly deluding themselves and probably don&#039;t know much about coins beyond the U.S. I hope those people have more of a life than their narrow numismatic perspective would suggest.</p><p><br /></p><p>Then, again, &quot;going raw&quot; must be the ultimate obscenity to them:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]176983.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]176984.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Then, again, some people embrace the history and excitement that coins possess. Others can only enjoy the cold plastic, ignoring the history and people that the coins embody. I wonder which type of person would be more interesting to have a conservation with.</p><p><br /></p><p>guy[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
