[QUOTE="Mark Feld, post: 667153, member: 11467"]There is a perception that PCGS almost always grades more conservatively than NGC does. And, while they often do, many times, they don't. In other words, many hobbyists assume that a given coin will grade lower at PCGS than at NGC, but on many occasions that will not be the case. Also, PCGS has also done a great job marketing their Set Registry program. The price of many PCGS coins is driven by those who are participating in that program and "must" have PCGS coins in order to participate. What I find amusing is that many individuals recommend PCGS coins only, because they sell for more money. Yet those same people ignore the fact that you often have to pay more for those coins in the first place. It's not just what you sell a coin for that counts - it's what you buy it for, as well. Even more importantly to some, is how nice the actual coin is and how much you they enjoy it.;)[/QUOTE]
