a burning question fo me is why do NGC slabbed coins seem to sell for less, this is not every time, but I have seen that trend more then a few times....
You know the answer. Otherwise, you would not be asking. It is what you do. You knew the answer and replies that would be generated by your post, before you posted.
Have allot of graded currency as well and noticed differences between the old PCGS ( Collectors Universe ) and PMG , PCGS use to be the big kid on the block until the owner ran it in to the ground, submissions were taking 6 - 8 months to get back now that there no longer with us, the only game in town when it comes to currency is PMG and there is even a question on that. As posted earlier would it pay to buy a coin in a NGC holder with no PCGS equivalent crack it and send it in to PCGS ? your opinion would be appreciated.
You keep changing the thrust of your question(s). Show or identify the piece that does not have an "equivalent". Is it a foreign coin that is not TPG or 4PG evaluated? You already identified it as a $20.00 Liberty, so that is not the reason. How is it logical to compare the experience of currency grading...regardless of when and/or who ran what into the ground, with TPG Coin evaluation? There is no logical answer to your question. Big Boy Pants: find out by buying this mysterious coin yourself, crack it out, submitting this mysterious coin to PCGS. Maybe before cracking it out, send to CAC. Let members know what happens, and then crack it out and send to PCGS and see what happens and let members know, then send it to CAC and let members know what happens. You know all this. Yet you would ask the members to give opinions without any logical basis for doing so. Ok, I will give you an answer. Yes, it will pay to do so. The question is, for who, you or the TPG or the 4PG. LOL.
That what this forum is all about, trying to obtain knowledge, there obviously more people here that are more familiar with the differences between PCGS and NGC then I am, so why not ask there opinion ?
If you are happy, I am happy. I know you enjoy keeping your threads alive, and nothing wrong with that. But, if you want an opinion, then why not identify the mysterious one of a kind no equal coin? Yes, a $20.00 Liberty. And? LOL.
I sort of wish we could find at least one series which the two grade comparably, just so I could point to it and say "They're similar in their grading there." Then we'd have a convenient example for everyone to refer to.
There is....using CAC comparison. Their comparisons have been evaluated to their own standards without regard to the standards of the TPG being evaluated, and they're unbiased in their TPG source comparisons. So there.
Always astounding how someone who probably has millions in gold needs crowdsourcing for rather amateur questions.
No, THEIR grading isn't necessarily the SAME. I can show you multiple examples of coins having the same design/date/type/etc./grade that aren't technically the same. JMHO
Riddle me this... If PCGS is four letters fine ( like .9999 fine) NGC three letters fine. ( like .999 fine) What is ANACS
GOOD LORD... I think you might not understand the meaning of "reasonable response". Show me yours and I will show you mine. LOL
PCGS is #1 for U.S. coins, but NGC is way ahead of PCGS in foreign and ancient coin markets. NGC does a great job with ancient Roman coins in my opinion. I prefer my ancient coins raw, but NGC does a good job.
I said I can, not that I'd waste my time when you know that virtually all responses to your query were responsible, and especially that of GDJMSP
