[QUOTE="tmoneyeagles, post: 667225, member: 17557"]I like both grading companies. Some people like to believe that PCGS is more conservative, and grades the coins better, but I say that you need to learn how to grade coins yourself... If you can find a nicer NGC example of a coin, and have no intention of selling, and you can get it cheaper, go with NGC. The biggest things to look at, are how PCGS/NGC give out designations, like DPL/DMPL, PL, FH, FBL, FB, etc.. I know PCGS is actually more generous with DMPL's and PL's than NGC is, due to their grading standards... And Lehigh has said before that PCGS is tougher on FS jeffersons. Another example is that in a lot of cases, I have heard where MS61 NGC gold comes back at AU58 from PCGS, meaning that NGC over grades gold sometimes. (Don't get me wrong, PCGS does too) I think a lot of it has to do with what you are going to do with the coins, and what type of coins you collect.[/QUOTE]
