<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 1847300, member: 15199&quot;]Well, I for one has submitted series of the same coin picked by me to be closely identical to PCGS divided over several submissions and they came back as I expected with 95% identical grade ( they were Lincolns). A similar group sent to NGC came back&nbsp; +1 MS point, so they grade ( on Lincolns) about 1 point higher than PCGS in my experience, again about 90% identical. So as far as I am concerned I feel your 50% statement to be unfounded. I believe the reason PCGS Lincoln sell for more is that they are more conservatively graded and many know it.&nbsp; I made a Lincoln work sheet with 10 lincoln cent images with 10% opacity&nbsp; and made note of any markers and my expected grade for each submission, and compared when they returned.&nbsp; &nbsp; NGC did bag 2 coins as &quot;harshly cleaned ( but was really heavy die polishing), resent to PCGS and they passed.&nbsp; Each service has their own standards and my experience mentioned here is only for Lincolns.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
