<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 634950, member: 112&quot;]Sure sounded that way to me when you said this - </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>And that is why I responded as I did.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>So, let me ask you a different question then. Based on your above comment would it be fair for me to say that you think that PCGS slabbed coins realize higher prices because you believe that PCGS has tougher grading standards than NGC does ? If that is not what you think, then please explain the reason for me, if you don&#039;t mind.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Yeah I will agree that there were some who submitted to ANACS for that reason. But that was by no means the only reason they submitted to ANACS. Believe it or not, there were plenty of people who flat out didn&#039;t trust, or didn&#039;t like PCGS or NGC, and that&#039;s why they submitted to ANACS - regardless of the value of the coin being submitted. And then of course there were also those who knew that ANACS had tougher standards for some coins than either NGC or PCGS. And then those who wanted their coin attributed and labeled as such - a service which neither NGC or PCGS offered at the time. And in many cases they still don&#039;t.</p><p><br /></p><p>So grading fees were more often than not a minor consideration for a great many people when it came to choosing the TPG they wanted to use.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>And let&#039;s not forget all those coins in NGC, ANACS &amp; ICG holders that would be upgraded by PCGS either - yes, that&#039;s right, UPGRADED by PCGS - which resulted in even more profit. Somehow fans of PCGS always seem to forget about those particular examples.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
