<p>[QUOTE=&quot;WingedLiberty, post: 1192721, member: 26030&quot;]I have noticed that the online prices for NGC graded and PCGS graded coins (same date/mint) can be wildly different (PCGS typically much higher).</p><p><br /></p><p>I have always heard that PCGS and NGC are the top 2 (premier) coin grading companies in the world -- and NGC seems very respected by everyone.</p><p><br /></p><p>Why would a similarly graded coin in an NGC slab be worth so much less than the same date/mint/condition coin in a PCGS slab?&nbsp;&nbsp; Is NGC really that much more lax in their grading standards, that their coins will generally grade 1 step lower by PCGS?&nbsp; Or is there simply more demand for coins in PCGS slabs because of their online registry feature?
