<p>[QUOTE="Jason Hoffpauir, post: 2499836, member: 67527"]To be completely honest...I do NOT like PCGS slabs...to me NGC is head and shoulders above PCGS. For many years PCGS lead the market; but I personally feel that they lost their edge over a decade ago. NGC holders look, feel, and are actually made better. The myth of coins being worth more in PCGS holders exists but I think it is ridiculous. It really doesn't matter which grading company 's grades the coin...the COIN should speaks for itself. Over the years PCGS has relied on its name and simply done nothing to improve. On the other hand, NGC has never stopped improving their holders and it is shows abundantly in the coin arena. For me personally, I just like the way they look and feel. </p><p><br /></p><p> I believe that people in general think that if they get a PCGS slab then they will get more money. Many people do get more money but its the people who pay PCGS prices that I laugh at. NGC is more accurate and reliable in my opinion. Don't get me wrong; I have many PCGS slabs but I don't look at the slab when I buy a coin. I look at the COIN. WE have moved so far away from the magic of just looking at a coin to worrying how much will I get back if I buy it in a PCGS or NGC holder? </p><p><br /></p><p> Where is the fun in that? When will people stop thinking that they are going to get RICH using coins as an investment vehicle. You won't. Yes some do....but very few. It takes time. The absurd price differences between the two TPG companies just blows my mind. But I guess it just goes to show you that a coin's value is what a person is willing to pay for it...and NOT which slab it comes in. This is JMHO. Please don't flame as the OP asked a question and am simply answering it. I end this with the simple fact that everyone has the right to choose what they want. Period. I am not judging anyone. I am simply giving you my opinion for thought. Thank you for your time and enjoy what remains of your day.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
