[QUOTE="iPen, post: 2035359, member: 69760"]I'm wondering if anyone has sent the [U]exact same[/U] coin to both PCGS and NGC. It's generally known that PCGS is stricter in grading coins, but I'm curious as to what the real life results are. Similarly, if you sent the exact same coin twice to to the same grading company, will a different professional grader come up with the same grade? Or the same professional grader with a different grade? I would assume that the display holders would have to be removed as a control for the experiment, otherwise looking at the display's grade will likely create bias. I'm also assuming that the physical condition of the coin has remained exactly the same throughout the process (e.g. no added scratches, nicks, etc. in between the grading by both companies). Just curious![/QUOTE]
