<p>[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 23126, member: 112"]NGC - PCGS - ICG - all offer a grade guarantee and they stand behind it. I do not believe ANACS does. But as Nd already said - the guarantee for any of the companies is only good if the company who slabbed the coin downgrades it at a later date. If another company downgrades the coin - the guarantee no longer applies. This is primarily because all of the grading companies use different grading standards as has been discussed here many times.</p><p><br /></p><p>You should also be aware that the value of a downgraded coin, when submitted under the guarantee of all the companies, is not based on retail value or what YOU PAID for the coin.
