<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Richard1972, post: 399425, member: 14172&quot;]<b>Follow Up PCGS Grading Experience</b></p><p><br /></p><p>Well, I guess the members are correct here. About the only thing consistant about PCGS is inconsitancy. I resubmited all 14 coins back to PCGS and only 2 of them came back with the same grade. I was upset because one coin in Particular, a 1907 Saint graded MS65 in an NGC slab came back as MS64 my first time around. This time it came back as MS66. I am really surprised but don&#039;t know why I should be. After all, the reason I cracked out the NGC MS65 was because I thougt it was undergraded in the first place. When I it came back as MS64 by PCGS I was actually beginning to think that perhaps PCGS is just more strict. I was also upset to lose my MS65 grade. Now i&#039;m happy with the MS66(it really looks like it belongs in an MS66 slab.) but really have lost faith that PCGS could change 2 point on one coin. The difference in Price from a 1907 MS64- MS66 Saint is simply too much money to play games with. I wonder if paying 100 dollars per coin had anything to do with it? I was so upset with my downgrade from my first experience that I could not wait to see if I could recoup my losses. I really find it said if the same day walk-through service had any bearing on my assigned grades.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I know the main reason that PCGS coins carry a premium over NGC is due to keeping a low population. In the case of 1907 Saints in Gem and above, NGC actually has a much smaller pop. I wonder why an NGC coin would not command a higer price tag if it had a lower pop than one in a PC slab?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
