[QUOTE="19Lyds, post: 1981752, member: 15929"]Or so some would have you believe. Specifically PCGS. The reality is that its simple market perception as grading is an opinion. Nothing more and nothing less. PCGS [I][B]WANTS[/B][/I] you to believe that they have stricter grading standards but I know of one fella that submitted his PCGS coins for crossover to NGC and some "downgraded". As stated in a thread ATS, the simple fact of the matter is that PCGS "sells" for more money than NGC even though the grades are comparable. IF, I were a grading company, I would want to stifle the competition. I would look at the grades they assigned to a coin and look for a reason NOT to agree with that assigned grade. Exactly the same way that many on these open coin forums do. It's actually rather easy to do when its somebody elses money. NGC Crossovers to PCGS start with a black eye and then go down from there. Likewise, PCGS crossovers to NGC start with a black eye and go down from there.[/QUOTE]
