Message:: [QUOTE="40_mila_kokkina, post: 3425513, member: 59115"]Not new at this. Been submitting coins for years now to ANACS, SEGS and NTC. A lot of work but interesting to see the finished product results. I've been willing to try the big two but the bureaucracy and money one needs to lay out with them first turns me off. I also don't think they do better work or grade better than the second and third tier competitors anymore. They're getting sloppy, not taking the needed time with the specimens and are making plenty of holder related mistakes these days. Not that I've sent them anything, but it is based on what I see from auction sites and videos I watch. They're both making mistakes that are unacceptable. I think it's time the marketplace opened up more for coin grading. Better work for our coins can be done if we divide up the load of submissions among the various competitors. If everything goes to PCGS & NGC they have too much to deal with and then coins don't get the proper evaluations they deserve. If the business could be broken up among 10 companies or so the grading and slabbing process could be dealt with much better and given the care it deserves for the fees we're paying to have the work done.[/QUOTE]
