<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dctraders, post: 249532, member: 9435&quot;]<b>PCGS vs NGC</b></p><p><br /></p><p>Hello All,</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I am a newbie here but love the debate over these two grading services. I use them both and no others. My opinion is that PCGS has &quot;Snob Appeal&quot; over NGC. Sort of Like Mercedes Benz over Volkswagen. Why? I think there are a number of reasons. One: If you read the grading criteria of the different grading services PCGS, includes the very subjective &quot;superior eye appeal&quot; as a factor. Most services only require the coin be completely original &quot;as struck&quot;. Two: By controlling the number of higher grade coins the PCGS cartel is only ensuring the rarity of many issues.Three: NGC grades more (some times 10x) than PCGS. Hence ther are less PCGS. The discriminating investor will pay the PCGS premium because &quot;there is never a recession at the Merceds dealer&quot;, there is an abundance of affluent, albeit pretentious, buyers in todays market place and they are buying PCGS, because they can.</p><p>Anyway that is my opinion, thanks for hearing me out</p><p>.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
