[QUOTE="Treashunt, post: 171120, member: 6763"]Seeker007: You have asked what is probably the most debated question, anywhere, short of "Was there a single gunman in Dealy Plaza?" Opinions vary, but, IMHO, I think that PCGS is the most reasonable (meaning accurate on a consistant basis) and NGC the strictest graders. Everyone else falls somewhere below, but, lately ANACS is slipping and (from the opinions voiced on this website) PCI is gaining, with SEGS and the others as a third tier. If I were just starting out I would study NGC for strict grading, but ignore them on toned coins. PCGS for circulated pieces for accuracy (NGC is too strict on Barber coins). Then, compare them with the other grading serivces. Remember, grading is an art and I guess that only Art can grade. Also, remember we are all opinionated since we have all had some negative experiences with each service. Good luck Frank[/QUOTE]
