<p>[QUOTE=&quot;iPen, post: 2035637, member: 69760&quot;]My understanding for the reason to get a coin graded by PCGS or NGC, over second and third tier graders, is purely due to greater economic benefit and &quot;better quality grading services&quot;. I&#039;m assuming, then, that PCGS and NGC has far greater standards than other grading service providers, which in turn demand higher prices. Or, are the grading services of these other TPGs just as good, but it&#039;s somehow become convention, perhaps due to the consistency of quality control of having long tenured experts doing the grading? Are the opinions of these non-PCGS/NGC graders just as accurate as PCGS and NGC graders?</p><p><br /></p><p>It also sounds like from people&#039;s experiences and observations that PCGS&#039;s stricter grading over NGC is false (?), and that auction house results will show no correlation.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just trying to figure all this out. Thanks so far everyone![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
