With the same trickles of coins available and the number of collectors exponentially increasing the prices have gone up. Indian coins in the last two years are going through a phase called Grade Rarity Madness. Everyone wants the best specimen out there and there can be no better way to agree on the grade except through a grade rarity. A 1936 1/4 anna is a $3 Krause catalog coin. When it is a MS 66 RD, It will sell for $150. Sellers have realized that paying $25 for grading increases the probability of them making more money out of it than letting people make a judgement of the coin in the raw and compete on it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Regarding the NGC, PCGS debate, I personally like NGC over PCGS for buying because for the same grade NGC has visually better pleasing coins that PCGS. I have seen this consistently in 100&#039;s of coins/ grades. Since buyers start paying higher prices for NGC slabs than PCGS slabs, sellers have started using NGC over PCGS.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
