<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ed Zak, post: 41022, member: 824&quot;]I like ICG.&nbsp; I am a big fan of their slab with the Intercept Shield that offers, in my opinion, the best protection for preserving and protection of the coin.&nbsp; When I want to keep my old BU Red Lincolns...<b><span style="color: red">RED</span> </b>, I keep them in a dry, room temperature area in an Intercept Shield holder.</p><p><br /></p><p>I know their coins are not getting the prices of PCGS.&nbsp; Heck, NGC (for the most part) is not getting prices realized compared to PCGS!&nbsp; Look at Heritage&#039;s completed auctions and PCGS always seems to get the highest prices, followed by NGC, then by Anacs and then ICG.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have bought and sold coins graded by ICG and their circulated coins are pretty much conservatively graded.&nbsp; Coins graded MS67 and higher seem to be more liberally graded.&nbsp; go figure?</p><p><br /></p><p>Everybody beefs about their MS70 grades on moderns as this is the biggest complaint I hear about ICG.&nbsp; Between PR70DCAM for modern coins or MS70 for SAE&#039;s...many collectors simply do not believe that a coin could be &quot;perfect&quot;.&nbsp; But that is another discussion in itself.</p><p><br /></p><p>I watch the grey sheets and ICG always is up with PCGS and NGC.&nbsp; Look yourself:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.greysheet.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.greysheet.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.greysheet.com/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>One thing is for sure...I have managed to pick up some nice ICG coins for pennies on the dollar compared to what I would have had to pay for a PCGS coin.&nbsp; With that said, everything I see and read about the company has been positive and I am sure their slabs will increase in value as more and more collectors/dealers really look at their product and grading services.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
