[QUOTE="Lehigh96, post: 667346, member: 15309"]T$, You kinda mixed up what I said. PCGS is tougher on Jefferson's with respect to numerical grade. In fact, they are almost a whole point more conservative than NGC. However, NGC is definitely tougher with respect to the FS designation, as they are with most designations. The combination of these two factors makes pricing registry Jefferson's very difficult. Generally speaking, I think there are some other series like Jefferson's where PCGS is more conservative than NGC. For series that the TPG's share similar grading standards, I find very little separates the two except the koolaid that is served on the PCGS forum and the exclusivity of the PCGS registry. Personally, I prefer the look of the NGC slab and think that rainbow toned coins contrast better against the white background of the NGC insert. I also like NGC's attempt to recognize superior eye appeal with the star designation although I wish it's application was more consistent.[/QUOTE]
