<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ladies First, post: 1284015, member: 21961&quot;]I haven&#039;t read the whole thread so if these coins have already been discussed, my apologies!</p><p><br /></p><p>Because I buy only moderns and mostly on eBay, I buy the slab. Usually I&#039;m happy with buying the slab for what I collect. For Proof Pres. Dollars, I like the PCGS Signature Slabs in PR69; I dig the presidential portraits and don&#039;t want to stress about the possibility of the coins developing problems like I would if I paid PR70 money! I used to like collecting NGC Pres and Spouse coins and then getting them moved to Multi-Holders but that was sadly ended; Multi-Holders are now for Bulk Customers only, but you can see on my albums page the fun I used to have! For this reason, and for the money they sell for, I&#039;ve switched to submitting my spouses to PCGS for First Strike...but I hope I never miss one and have to make it up. I don&#039;t want to pay for the premiums (beyond the $18 submission fee) I&#039;ve seen First Strikes sell for over their like-graded counterpart. I know it&#039;s &quot;meaningless&quot; but it&#039;s definitely worth the $18.</p><p><br /></p><p>The biggest difference I&#039;ve seen with regard to grading is for the Spouse Bronze Medals. My MS68 and 69 PCGS bronzes have the kinds of dings you&#039;d expect to see on a 65...or 64 so I&#039;ve gone back to NGC for the Medals since, as I mentioned, I often buy them sight unseen. I&#039;ve never been dissapointed in the NGC grade on the medals.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
