<p>[QUOTE="jolumoga, post: 26743518, member: 41780"]I can't speak as to which is better as I'm not an expert, but the general consensus is that they are both about the same in their grading. On the other hand, PCGS slabs sell for a slight premium on eBay. This is similar to the sports card market, whereby BGS and CGC are considered reputable by many, in some cases even better or more consistent, but PSA slabs bring an extra premium that has grown over time. Actually, perceptions of how strict the grader is can boost that premium - whether it's real or not. With sports cards, PSA is generally regarded as the strictest. NGC supposedly has a solid reputation with world coins. I like ICG if I simply want a coin authenticated, like say a Spanish colonial 8 reales. ANACS also has a long history going back to the 1980s I think, and some here prefer it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
