It would depend on how good you are grading.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Been discussed 1000 times - there are more than few who think that PCGS is stricter with their grading than NGC. Personally, I believe they are about the same in a general sense. But PCGS is much less consistent than NGC. Too often PCGS will over-grade and under-grade.</p><p><br /></p><p>In specific cases, like the special designations, NGC has much tougher standards than PCGS does. That is just a fact and not an opinion. For example, what you ask about - to get a DMPL designation NGC requires reflectivity at 6 to 8 inches. PCGS requires reflectivity at 4 to 6 inches. For a PL special designation NGC requires 4 to 6 inches while PCGS requires 2 to 4 inches.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
