[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 745258, member: 112"]A reduction as compared to what ? Now I know what you mean, but I would wager there are a lot of folks who don't. That said, I have found that many, if not most of the pre-'64 coins graded by ICG (the old ICG anyway) are graded as accurately as those graded by PCGS and NGC. And I have seen many coins from those ICG slabs submitted to NGC and PCGS end up getting an upgrade from the big 2. So your comment, while somewhat accurate because rarely can a coin in an ICG slab be sold for what the same coin would be in an NGC or PCGS slab, still presents a misleading perception about coins slabbed by ICG. Thr truth is, these older coins slabbed by ICG are typically every bit as nice and equal to those slabbed by the big 2 of the same grade, and sometimes nicer. So the adage of buy the coin not the slab is true even here.[/QUOTE]
