<p>[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 2147, member: 112"]That's somewhat debatable Jim. Do their slabbed coins bring the most money currently - yes. Is this changing - yes. Are they the most consistent - no. Are they the best grading company - a matter of opinion. Are they the most conservative when it comes to grading - IMO no - it depends on the coin. Do they have the toughest standards - no. Do they have the best marketing campaign & methods - yes. Is this why their slabbed coins bring the highest prices at the present time - again IMO - yes. Do they change their grading standards - yes. But then so do all the other companies. Do they follow the grading standards of the ANA - no - neither do the other companies.</p><p><br /></p><p>But I will agree - if new collectors are going to buy slabbed coins and the collector does not know how to grade for him/herself - then they should stick with buy coins slabbed by NGC or PCGS. If you do not know how to grade yourself - it way to easy to pay too much for a coin that has been slabbed by the other grading companies. Of course you can pay too much for those slabbed by NGC & PCGS too.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
