[QUOTE="Speedy, post: 104253, member: 705"]I would almost bet that ANACS would be harder on that coin that PCGS would. If your looking for resale....go PCGS. Each grading Co. has their good points and bad points....let me list the ones I see... PCGS---harder on modern coins to some point...but loose on other coins in higher grades---also tends to sometimes overgrades Key Date coins (but that is somewhat true with all of the Co's.) NGC---Hard on coins with FSB/FBL/FH/and the like....looser on modern coins...harder IMHO on PF Franklins than PCGS--they seem to be the best on Morgans. ANACS---Hard on PF and MS70's...hard on cleaning and older coins....hard on Jefferson Nickels and Franklin halves.... ICG---Loose on almost all modern....older coins they are OK...most of their coins are OK... PCI---some are ok....but I suggest that you always grade the coin yourself....and never trust the slab....I do think they are pretty good on finding the fakes so I trust them that way. Speedy[/QUOTE]
