[QUOTE="iloveallcoins, post: 2929897, member: 91550"]NGC price guide has never been accurate and for that reason no one has ever used it. But pcgs price guide is used heavily, especially as a negotiation tool. One thing about NGC Franklins though is the rarities do tend to sell more then PCGS. I think for a while they used to grade FBL by the upper and lower lines which as PCGS has only ever graded the lower lines (they may still but not likely judging by some I have seen lately lol). Also NGC populations for FBL coins are much lower then PCGS. I will note though that though all the PCGS guide drops NGC realized prices have remained remarkably stable and PCGS coins are dropping to realized prices more consistent with their NGC counterparts. Perhaps the market is shifting? PCGS is ONLY king because of registry set collecting. Their standards are no better or worse then other graders though many rookie collectors that have read an online blog would probably disagree with me.....but have not been buying enough multi thousand dollar coins to see they all get it both wrong and right. Then there is the other two: ICG has gone completely crazy since ebay seller centsless hung up his self slabbed NNC holders and found a way to get ICG to overgrade his junk. ANACS is very good but their best stuff is picked though and crossed to PCGS. That leaves a lot of the over graded stuff in the market.[/QUOTE]
