<p>[QUOTE=&quot;C-B-D, post: 1624500, member: 43130&quot;]Personally, I think the biggest flaw for NGC is that they refuse to designate major varieties for free like PCGS does. For example, I bought a 1823 Capped Bust Half NGC VF35 off ebay for $150 as a buy it now. It was CLEARLY the broken 3 variety, but because someone didn&#039;t pay NGC the extra $12, NGC marked it as a regular 1823.&nbsp; ...... Now, if you had submitted that coin to PCGS, it would have come back as an 1823 Broken 3 variety. They fix things like that for you for free (because it&#039;s a major variety), even if you miss it when submitting coins. </p><p><br /></p><p>PCGS certifies what they call &quot;major varieties&quot; for free, but charge $24 per coin for what they consider minor varieties. NGC asks for an extra $12 for <i>all</i> varieties.</p><p><br /></p><p>But to answer your original question, I have found that people pay insanely high prices for PCGS coins. If you are getting them certified as a future investment to later cash in on, go with PCGS. (IMHO).</p><p><br /></p><p>But[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
