<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 7834459, member: 13650&quot;]This question comes up all the time and this discussion is a well beaten path.&nbsp; It seems to be a Ford vs Chevy argument.&nbsp;&nbsp; If you pay attention over the years, you&#039;ll see the same graders leave PCGS to go work at NGC or vice versa.&nbsp; &nbsp; I think right now there may be some newer graders that may be a bit more timid to assign higher grades or are quick to assign AU details cleaned these days.&nbsp;&nbsp; Just what I&#039;ve seen.&nbsp; Could be wrong.&nbsp;&nbsp; Grading is an imperfect process.&nbsp;&nbsp; There are some series that are easier to grade than others.&nbsp;&nbsp; For example if you cracked out MS-64 through 67 Oregon trail commemoratives or MS-63 to 65 $10 gold Indian eagles and mixed them on a table raw and had to separate them again for a cash prize, GOOD LUCK.&nbsp; &nbsp; Once a high grade is achieved it&#039;s never getting cracked out again.&nbsp; Where as many lower, MS grades are probably submitted multiple times hoping for an upgrade.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; Anyway, I would say most of the slabs at the ANA WF show were PCGS but NGC was not uncommon.&nbsp; It&#039;s difficult to tell which was the most represented.&nbsp; Both companies were present for submissions there.&nbsp; &nbsp; I can say I do not trust one over the other and have seen sketchiness out there regardless of the company.&nbsp; They&#039;re equal in my eyes but someone may come along to explain why ones better.&nbsp;&nbsp; Not worth stewing about for me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
