<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mhinchley, post: 4950, member: 689&quot;]Now our firm recommends that collectors stay within the PCGS, NGC, and Anacs grading services as a somewhat safe bet. Now I know there are other services that are making positive moves within the market, but these three we have found to be as consistent as any. </p><p>None are perfect, they are just a group of individuals trying their best.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p><p>I personally prefer ICG, but as you stated, PCGS brings more money.&nbsp; As with Accugrade, I have found that for some reason, ICG coins can be had at a substatially lower cost than PCGS or NCG.&nbsp; I have also found ICG to be very consistant in their grading practices, so I often seek out their coins......hence my plan now to cross-grade with PCGS.&nbsp; Since I purchase the majority of coins I acquire through the net, and do not have the opportunity to view them, I prefer them to be graded by on of the top 4, so I have an idea what I am getting.&nbsp; If in person, I could then determine the grade myself, but that is not generally the case.&nbsp; Or if from a reputable dealer, which I do acquire some from time to time in that fashion.&nbsp; I will let everyone know in the forum the results of the cross-grade when I get the coins back from PCGS.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
