<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 583245, member: 112&quot;]They are and they should, but they don&#039;t always. That is because there is a pervasive perception within the coin market that PCGS is tougher on grading than NGC is. </p><p><br /></p><p>The truth of the matter is simple - on some series PCGS is tougher on grading. On other series NGC is tougher on grading. But note that I am speaking of grading in general. With special designations NGC has tougher criteria in every case. Most people don&#039;t even realize that NGC has tougher requirements and that doesn&#039;t help. But the gap in realized prices between NGC and PCGS slabbed coins has narrowed greatly in recent years and in some cases the gap has even reversed.</p><p><br /></p><p>Bottom line - realized sales prices do not always indicate best value. And the brand name on the slab does not always indicate a better coin for the grade. You, as the buyer, have to know how to determine that for yourself.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
