<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Boss, post: 548233, member: 15110&quot;]I voted PCGS, but it&#039;s like 51% vs 49 comparted to NGC.&nbsp; I think NGC slabs are more air-tight (Mr White&#039;s book &quot;Coin Chemistry&quot; demonstrates this) so for red copper this is good.&nbsp; I have a nice RB IHC that is toning and I one point I was going to crack out and try for a full RD which would have been a very significant price difference.&nbsp; No chance now.&nbsp; NGC slabs do sell for less than PCGS equivalent coins.&nbsp; I think the PCGS slab is more esthetic.&nbsp; The old slabs of NGC have tilited coins and that is very annoying to me.&nbsp; They get lost in the thickness of the white slab and can&#039;t see the edge.&nbsp; At first, I didn&#039;t like the new edge holder of NGC and now it is growing on me.&nbsp; My Lincolns look Bigger and more prominent in them.&nbsp; PCGS circular slab is what sells me and the rims of the outside don&#039;t get scratched as much.&nbsp; NGC slabs scratch so easy to me.&nbsp; As far as grading I think, NGC will grade MS 70&#039;d coins (the product not the grade) because NCS uses some derivative of this product as far as I am concerned and they want those coins to grade.&nbsp; PCGS will give genuine to a lot of toned coins if they even hint of AT.&nbsp; Maybe Lehigh could pitch in on that- he would know way more than I.&nbsp; Just my speculative opinion.&nbsp; I do agree that NGC is more consistent on grading.&nbsp; I still like the eye appeal of the PCGS slab and that is why I generally like them better.&nbsp; I also live in the West so my coins don&#039;t travel as far to get slabbed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
