<p>[QUOTE=&quot;steve1942, post: 742554, member: 21699&quot;]<b>PR69 or PF70</b></p><p><br /></p><p>First off, I&#039;m not one that cares about slabs.&nbsp; Problem is: buying from any site, Heritage, Ebay, etc. requires it, there are so few places to buy coins in mint boxes with COAs once the mint ends its sales.&nbsp; Now to the question.&nbsp; I want to purchase a modern gold proof.&nbsp; I&#039;m looking at a NGC PF70 which is only $25 more than a PCGS PR69.&nbsp; Buying on-line, it is impossible to grade coin myself.&nbsp; I also know that PCGS grades a much lower percentage of PR70 than NGC does.&nbsp; I would take this to mean that there are coins in PCGS slabs that if regraded by NGC might meet NGCs PF70s requirement.&nbsp; On top of that, I know that PCGS has been able to convince buyers that their coins are worth more and will hold there value better.&nbsp; What do I do, save $25 and buy a darned good PR69 or believe the slab value given by NGC&nbsp; and go for the 70.&nbsp; My feelings are to save the few dollars and buy the lower graded PCGS coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
