<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1269250, member: 112&quot;]Because the battle of &quot;who&#039;s best&quot; is a waste of time to begin with. Neither one is best, neither one is more conservative, neither one sells for higher prices. You can&#039;t say these things definitively, you can&#039;t even say they are true most of the time. Sure you can find examples of all of those things, but you can find them for each company. And not just with modern coins but with all coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Yes PCGS is more conservative when grading this series, but NGC is more conservative when grading that series. Yes you can find where a given coin in a PCGS slab sold for more than one in an NGC slab, but you can also find examples - and not just one or two where the NGC coin sold for more. That&#039;s because it depends on the coin - not the slab it&#039;s in ! Unless you&#039;re a plastic buyer of course, and there are plenty of those. But who would give any credence to what a plastic buyer does ?</p><p><br /></p><p>Both of the companies over-grade, both of the companies under-grade, and both of the companies grade correctly. But neither of them do these things all of the time. And both companies will call a coin AT today and tomorrow call the same coin NT. </p><p><br /></p><p>And people well versed in the hobby, people with experience, will agree with my comments.</p><p><br /></p><p>There are some truths however. I&#039;ve never yet met a single person who would not agree that NGC has better customer service than PCGS does. And there is no one who can disagree that NGC has tougher requirements when it comes to special designations. But other than that neither one of the companies is &quot;better&quot; than other. In any way.</p><p><br /></p><p>That&#039;s why ![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
