[QUOTE="Midas, post: 66615, member: 2761"]IF...and that's a big IF, I am going to submit coins, I reluctantly prefer PCGS. A couple of reasons. IF I had to sell the coin, I am more than likely able to obtain higher prices over the NGC slabbed coin in the same grade. Argue all you what, but the current market forces are in place and PCGS coins cost more to obtain and sell higher than the same coin in another holder. Blame it on registry sets, marketing, hype, or whatever. IF you are going to spend $20 to $30 slabbing a coin, you might as well use a service that is realizing better prices for that coin over other services. As for grading, PCGS is right up their with NGC and ICG. Check out the latest rankings: [url]http://www.greysheet.com/[/url] I like the ICG slabs with the Intercept Shield protection the best, but PCGS slabs are well made and serve purpose when it comes to protection. I own coins from all 4 of the top services (PCGS, NGC, ICG and ANACS) and if I had to sell and liquidate my coins, I KNOW that PCGS slabs will obtain higher prices over the other services. Case in point...look up any auction house like Heritage and search their prices realized for their past auctions. [B]PCGS slab sell way more higher than the other services. [/B] Do I like it? Only when I sell. The free market has spoken,[/QUOTE]
