<p>[QUOTE="calcol, post: 2656130, member: 77639"]First, I was referring only to NGC and PCGS awarding of PR68's; PR65's don't count here. However, let's focus on the coin type you just purchased. The only PCGS-graded 1897 PR68CA to sell at auction sold for 5 times what you paid for your NGC coin. There have been other NGC-graded PR68CA's sold at auction, and they've gone for about what you paid to about twice that. Further, the NGC price guide value for 1897 PR68 is $9K, whereas the PCGS price guide value is $22K. So, both the guides as well as actual auction history indicate a PCGS PR68 is worth significantly more than a NGC PR68. If it will cross at the same grade and you want NGC for registry or some other reason, sell the PCGS and use the cash to buy another NGC and spend the difference on another coin. Or buy something nice for your wife. Nothing will get her behind your hobby like making money at it!</p><p><br /></p><p>Cal[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
