<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JimMayor007, post: 248042, member: 9273&quot;]Every wonder why a PCGS coin in MS66 will carry a higher premium to buyers than a MS66 from NGC?</p><p><br /></p><p>I know for years I did, then about 6 years ago at a convention in San Diego I sat thru a seminar which attempted to educate professional numisist on this exact point(waste of time)!</p><p><br /></p><p>You see, the bottomline for the price difference has to do with selectibilty at certain grades(according to NGC reps). Being in the buisness for many years, I have noticed that from AU-55 - MS 63, you really notice no price difference when selling professional grade coins between NGC and PCGS, but the magic grade seems to be MS65+. Me being the type of person I am, the seminar seemed to be a good starting point for own homewrok into this age old question.</p><p><br /></p><p>When you start dealing in higher grade coins, a LARGE part of their value comes from the population report of that specific date and mint. For instance here, I am going to reflect on the 1932 D Washington quarter in MS-65. Ngc has a Pop of 14 currently, with none graded higher(14/0), While PCGS has 63 currently with 1 higher (63/1). YET.... Heritage recently sold a PCGS MS65 32d for 20,500.00, but in May sold a MS65 NGC 32d for 15,600.00 ????????? So I have to say, if the population has the majority to do with it, then this makes NO sense. </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-1751-2978-71/1?AID=5463217&amp;PID=2212781&amp;mpre=http%3A%2F%2Freviews.ebay.com%2FNGC-vs-PCGS-the-difference-and-why-the-premiums-shift_W0QQugidZ10000000001222298" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-1751-2978-71/1?AID=5463217&amp;PID=2212781&amp;mpre=http%3A%2F%2Freviews.ebay.com%2FNGC-vs-PCGS-the-difference-and-why-the-premiums-shift_W0QQugidZ10000000001222298" rel="nofollow">Important information NGC vs. PCGS the difference</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
