[QUOTE="Insider, post: 4516011, member: 24314"]No, the biggest differences between the major grading services are: 1. [B][SIZE=6]size.[/SIZE][/B] 2. Customer service. 3. Cost and speed of service. 4. The perceived value of a coin in their slab due to collector preference. The top level of the numismatic industry is like a clique. No street urchins allowed. Why do you think CAC does not wish to increase their profit by "beaning" amazing ANACS and IGG coins until they are crossed? PCGS was founded by major dealers for dealers. NGC split away but wants the same customers. This may come as a HUGE SHOCK to most of you but (I better say IMHO to stay out of trouble) the average collector is unimportant. Apparently, they don't need your business at all and don't care to chase after it or develop a relationship with you. The idea of coin forums and Registry Sets was genius - LOL, it verifies that "they really do care." That said, NGC and PCGS rule the market and have the largest dealer base. For that reason they also have the largest collector's base. Both services are top notch so they DESERVE their one and two position and brand recognition.
