<p>[QUOTE=&quot;IAMMore, post: 2864745, member: 90209&quot;]So far I had good experience grading with NGC. Just recently, I tried PCGS and it was a nightmare experience. PCGS customer service was terrible and dropped the ball on nearly every request I made, on top of that it was very difficult dealing with them. I tried crossing 4 NGC perfect-like modern eagles and none of the crossed. Considering they had a 50% crossing rate at the time of submission, and I&#039;ve seen countless eagles in PCGS slabs looking worst than the perfect coins I submitted, it makes me put into question PCGS grading etiquette and bias associated with who submits the coins, what slab they are in, etc. I&#039;ve noticed that large dealers who submit to PCGS are more likely to get favorable grading on coins which in my opinion are MS69, but PCGS will grade as MS70. I had to return couple of gold eagles purchased from large dealers in PCGS slab because of that. When purchasing coins in NGC slab, the eagles in my opinion were graded more strictly and true to MS70 grade in my experience. To make the long story short, what in my opinion is PCGS bias has turned me off and I will not grade with them anymore. I&#039;ve also decided not to purchase the coins slabbed by them, especially if they&#039;re modern eagles. Some people will say that PCGS coins bring maximum return, perhaps that is true in some instances, but only so when buyer is naive enough to put the plastic over the actual coin. You know how some sellers will boast that given PCGS coin has low pop, which inherently refers to PCGS plastic (no the coin) and is hardly a true representation of coin population when you count in the grading bias and its direct effect on the population size. I will pass on PCGS because they lost my trust.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
