<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lkeigwin, post: 1271496, member: 30400&quot;]It&#039;s great there&#039;s a choice for collectors. And there will never be unanimity on topics like this one.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t know of any &quot;study&quot; and I can&#039;t imagine why or how anyone would undertake it. Studying the accuracy of grading opinions? Let&#039;s just say that after you have spent many years with a series -- collecting several hundreds of examples of coins graded by both TPGs, and sharing experiences with some of the best dealers and collectors of your series, you will draw conclusions that are probably pretty solid.</p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, PCGS excludes NGC coins in its registry sets. If that were the simple reason why price and demand for PCGS coins is higher then why doesn&#039;t NGC do the same? Furthermore, it is my guess that the overwhelming majority of collectors have nothing to do with registries.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for the MS70 business strike cent, the reason PCGS invoked their guarantee had nothing to do with an error in the original grading. A spot later developed -- as sometimes happens with copper, and the coin no longer deserved MS70. I&#039;d say it was pretty cool PCGS stepped up and paid out. I have collected dozens of times from PCGS. NGC has yet to make a single guarantee payment.</p><p><br /></p><p>Lastly, it is not solely at the highest grade levels where there is a disjoint, although I agree it can be pretty extreme up there. It can be seen with numerous series at much lower levels. I see it all the time for CBH&#039;s in AU, one of the series I collect.</p><p>Lance.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
