<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rhoggman, post: 399089, member: 13987&quot;]I think the PCGS price guide is a marketing gimmick in part. They artificially increase their prices, and then give the price guide out for free. This strategy creates an image of PCGS coins being worth more than coins in other holders.</p><p><br /></p><p>For example if you have two coins of the same grade in two holders, and one coin is actually and technically a nicer coin, which one would you want? Obviously you would want the nicer coin. Now lets add another dimension to this. Lets say the nicer of the two coins is in an NGC holder, and the other coin is in a PCGS holder. If you were able to obtain either coin based purely on the respective price guide you would likely pay less for the coin in the NGC holder? Does this really make any sense? No. This scenario can be seen all the time. Buy the coin, not the holder.</p><p><b><u><br /></u></b></p><p><b><u>I would like to pose another question:</u></b></p><p><br /></p><p><i><b><font size="4">If you were not able to view the coin before you purchased it, which would you choose? NGC or PCGS?</font></b></i>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
