<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1269820, member: 26302"]Kasia, I would say there really is a top two nowadays. PCGS and NGC are the preferred TPGers, with PCGS being the one preferred TPG in some circles. Any other slab will, rightly or wrongly, will be worth less on the marketplace.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyone trying to downplay NGC or PCGS grade is trying to rob you basically. I saw a kid trying to sell his dad's collection at a show a year ago, (I guess Dad passed away), and the dealer, (thief), was telling him the NGC slabs were no good, and the coins weren't worth the grades assigned. While there occasionally will be a bad grade, on the surface a NGC or PCGS graded coin should be worth full book price. Now if you are selling to a dealer they need to make a profit, so they can discount for that but not because of the name on the slab.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
