<p>[QUOTE=&quot;alwayslost, post: 249775, member: 7155&quot;]This has been an enlightening thread, thanks to all for the input and especially to GDJMSP and Cloudsweeper, and of course the original poster. This question has been bugging me for years. Given that PCGS and NGC are the top graders. Given that I cannot grade a MS65 or a MS66 but I know the basics to look for. Does anybody know what the grading criteria of PCGS and NGC are on an given coin? What are the standards these two grading companies are using? There must be written down specs. e.g. bag marks per square centimeter, etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>The consensus seems to be that these two grading companies are about equal in incompetance. If that statement is true then NGC coins will rise and PCGS will fall untill thermal equlibrium is met[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
