PCGS and NGC is there grading similar ?

The reason I am asking this question
is I have been looking for my next $20
Liberty and have noticed on some of
the coins I have been looking at say
( NGC only, no PCGS ) I guess my question is do they grade similar ? like if I cracked open an NGC slab and sent
it in to PCGS what are the chances
that I would receive the sand grade ?

use to do this all the time with currency PCGS and PMG with good
results 7 out of 10 would maintain
grade two would go down and one
would go up.

50/50

 

Anyway, settle on the side of either one, as long as there is a CAC Green or Gold sticker attached (a legitimate sticker...accept no substitutes).

 

As Scott Traver’s puts it, PCGS is more conservative while NGC is more consistent

 

Thanks for the answers, I did notice that NGC slabs generally set fo less the
PCGS ones, might be up for some cracking...LOL

 

Someone will soon tell you that PGCS is the best grading service ever

 

I am waiting...

 

Which, when given a little thought, that is illogical logic, and gobbledygobbledness, and before anyone goes bananas and jumps all over me, think about it.

 

With or without CAC?

 

P G C S is the best grading service ever (psst...who are they?)

Don't hit me..I didn't do anything except copy what was posted.

 

A matter of choice really but there are marked differences, as noted such as price it seems you can get the same coin and grade cheaper in an NGC slab and still cheaper then that in a ANACS slab, so evidently TPG name means something.

 

Your spell-checking is atrocious

 

For a guy like you, look up recent sales of the same coin with same grade. Find the one that sells for more. Use that TPG.

 

There is no PCGS example, thats why I asked the question..LOL

 

I am certain there is an example of sales/auction prices listed for a PCGS or NGC piece. I rest assured you do not have some 1 off $20.00 Liberty that has never been on the market. Legend, GC, CAC, PCGS, NGC ANA, Heritage, Stacks, etc.., etc., all have extensive listings, and I assume you know this.

LOL.....

 

You have more faith in CAC than I do. My observation is that a lesser coin in an NGC holder is more likely to get a CAC sticker than the PCGS - CAC combination.

Generally I think that PCGS is more conservative than NGC, but my most valuable coin is in an NGC holder because I liked it.

 

To answer the Ops original question the answer is no. They do not grade similar. They each use their own standards. In some ways these standards can be very similar, but in others they are not.

And here's a pretty shocking fact: regardless of which grading service has the more difficult standard to meet, the coin in a PCGS holder typically sells for more. That is not my opinion, that is an empirical fact.

 

their not there
