<p>[QUOTE=&quot;WingedLiberty, post: 1271010, member: 26030&quot;]I have gone back and forth on this.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Initially I liked PCGS slabs more.&nbsp; I thought clear was better than white since it tends to disappear more.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; Then later I thought the new edge view NGC slabs were cool.&nbsp; They sort of have a musuem quality look to them.&nbsp; That is until i realized that you can&#039;t take a clean (unobstructed) photo of the coin in the NGC edge view slab (darn those tabs).</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;So now I am back to liking PCGS more.&nbsp; One benefit to PCGS is you have access to the True View photography, which takes pictures of the coin out of the slab -- something which can help produce some stunning images, especially on colorfully toned coins.&nbsp; PCGS does seem to have an additional benefit of slightly higher prices, probably due to the fact that the PCGS registry sets only accepts PCGS graded coins, so there are a number of collectors that only buy PCGS slabbed material (more bidders = higher prices).&nbsp; Some seem to think that PCGS is slightly more strict in grading.&nbsp; That is a PCGS MS64 is roughly equivalent to an NGC MS65 -- that may or may not be true (it might tend to be more true in some selected series, for example Matte Proof Lincolns) -- this might be worth investigating more.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
