[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 2781580, member: 10461"]The latter, please. :) No contest there. PS- don't mistake me for one of those a Kool-Aid-quaffing "PCGS or nothing else" kind of people (who also demand little CAC stickers on their US coins). Sure, I take [I]sips[/I] of the PCGS Kool-Aid - occasionally big [I]gulps[/I] of it - but really, aside from the prong thing and their substandard in-house photography, I have no issue at all with NGC. Have a submission going off to them pretty soon, in fact. I like "glamour shots" and have no shame in admitting that. Overgraded? PCGS? Not in my experience. More than once I've cracked a coin out of an NGC holder so I can send it to PCGS for proper images without prongs in the way ("glamor shots", as you say) and had it [I]drop[/I] a point from NGC to PCGS. How's [I]that[/I] overgrading? Besides, if a TPG wants to overgrade a coin of mine by a point or two, who am I to complain? That's better than the opposite outcome.[/QUOTE]
