<p>[QUOTE="theSharpGun, post: 1598428, member: 39683"]IMHO I think that NGC has the more marketable holders in that they are made to make selling a slabbed coin easier. That's because NGC has a great-looking slab with gold and white as the two main colors. It's very appealing because NGC holders make your coin look so much more sleek and beautiful as compared to PCGS holders. </p><p><br /></p><p>PCGS on the other hand have holders that are made for proper protection. I'm not saying NGC holders don't protect your coins, it's just that NGC's holders lack the same protection as PCGS because they try to use their holders as a marketing tool. PCGS designs their holders for one simple task, protecting and displaying your coin. They don't really seem to care if there holders look "cooler", all they care for is getting the job done and getting it done right. And PCGS has been very successful with that. </p><p><br /></p><p>And then there's ANACS. I have no idea why ANACS holders look the way they do, but they look odd, ugly, and you can't even stack them. Totally clueless of what the designers of the ANACS holders were thinking but whatever it was, it isn't working. Maybe that's why ANACS is declining in favorability among collectors. </p><p><br /></p><p>I actually have both PCGS and NGC holders and they really are great. I've found that for me NGC is easier to photography but I really love the simplicity of PCGS holders. So it's really hard to pick among those two. I guess it depends on the collector or dealer but then again this is just my opinion and you're open to disagree. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>-theSharpGun</p><p><br /></p><p>btw, Is there anyone here who honestly prefers ANACS holders among PCGS or NGC holders???[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
