<p>[QUOTE=&quot;calcol, post: 3244518, member: 77639&quot;]Both NGC and PCGS are excellent grading services and are the dominant ones for coins sold by auction houses and most dealers.&nbsp; If your nephew is interested in participating in the registries (free online services where collectors can anonymously display their collections), then he should stick with one grading service for any particular series (e.g. Lincoln cents, buffalo nickels, etc.).&nbsp; The grading services allow only coins that they have certified to be entered in their own registries.</p><p><br /></p><p>Within a grade, coin appearances can vary a lot.&nbsp; Your nephew should learn to evaluate coins beyond what the slab states.</p><p><br /></p><p>Cal[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
