<p>[QUOTE="CHAMELEON, post: 543932, member: 11032"]I think NGC is one of the worst grading companies around. They slab a whole LOT of artificially toned coins, and bag a whole lot of naturally toned coins. They are very inconsistent too. I've sent a lot of coins to them for a second time, and not a single one has come back with the same grade. The star designation is a big joke as well. I've seen it on plenty of coins that were nice, but not close to exceptional. I've seen tons of coins that had exceptional eye appeal that they don't give it to also. It's a big scam to get resubmissions and make more money. In my last submission they bagged a Franklin half for a counting machine mark that did not exist. There's nothing at all that slightly resembles a counting machine mark anywhere on the coin. What do they care? They still get paid regargless, and twice if I'm dumb enough to send it in again. I once bought a standing liberty quarter on ebay that was NGC graded MS-66, but when I got it I was so disappointed. It was AU-55 at best. I've seen four NGC star graded coins that were artificially toned (and hundreds of non-star coins that were AT). NGC is on the same level as NTC in my opinion. As a matter of fact, I've sent 3 coins that I bought in NNC holders to NGC. All 3 came back graded exactly the same as NNC had graded them. There are a few things that PCGS could change with their submission system, but they are much better at grading a coin than NGC. I wish there was something positive I could say about NGC, but there is not 1 thing that comes to mind.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
