[QUOTE="900fine, post: 1062635, member: 6036"]Strongly agree. Overall, I like NGC and feel the "PCGS Preference" is overrated. However, I feel NGC is much more likely than PCGS to give out gaudy grades, notably 66 and above. The breakpoint seems to be around 65 / 66 - that's where NGC and PCGS diverge, particularly with these mid 19th century coins. Seated Liberty and Barbers are the riskiest NGC coins IMO. To rate 66, there should be zero hairlines visible to the unaided eye and few or none visible under the glass.[/QUOTE]
