<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Brad0901, post: 742223, member: 21675&quot;]Thanks for the welcomes and replies everyone.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I guess the registry explanation could account for some of it, although the price differences seem to be pretty extreme.&nbsp; For example a 2005-S Kennedy Half PF70 went for $26, $30 and $41 in NGC slabs and the only PCGS one I saw went for $106!!&nbsp; That is one heck of a premium.&nbsp; Has anyone written a good informative book on modern coins?&nbsp; Maybe one that talks about things like Doug mentioned regarding PCGS not issuing PF70 grades, etc.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Also, if everyone loves PCGS then it seems like there would be more PCGS coins out there.&nbsp; On Ebay (the only place I have experience so far) this is completely opposite.&nbsp; I see at least 10 NGC coins for every PCGS coin, on most modern coins anyway.&nbsp; I guess I need to research these population reports I keep seeing mentioned.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Mark - I did start out with some of the older coins just to dabble and see what I liked (a few Morgans, Peace dollars, Buff nickels, etc), but was soon extremely overwhelmed with all the different varieties, colors, errors, toning, dipping, cleaned, etc.&nbsp; Therefore, I shifted to more modern slabbed proof coins that didn&#039;t require as much knowledge.&nbsp; Plus they are more fun to look at for now due to their newness, at least for me.&nbsp; However, as I learn to appreciate coins more, I am sure I will go back to older ones.&nbsp; Also, for my wallet, I should stick with 69s, but then I regret not paying the extra for the (perceived) best.&nbsp; Just one of my crazy quirks.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
