<p>[QUOTE=&quot;coinguy-matthew, post: 1581815, member: 35762&quot;]Most of my Ikes are PCGS only because i believe they have a stronger emphasis on the strike of the coin and often times are more eye appealing but this does not influence which coins i buy, as a matter of fact the best looking Ike i have ever seen was in a NGC slab. It doesn&#039;t matter what grade the slab says, who graded it or if it is graded at all, none of that should influence what coins you buy. I think doug gives the best advice followed by the worst advice.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I agree with you that you should always take the grade on the slab with a grain of salt and only buy coins that you feel meet your requirements for the given grade, every serious collector should have there own requirements for there collection no doubt about it. I disagree with ignoring an obvious market trend though, i mean lets face it PCGS coins bring more money. You dont have to agree with it or like it but to ignore it all together is in the words of Morgandude11 &quot;false logic.&quot; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;Dont take this the wrong way either Doug, I respect you and your opinion, you have probably forgot more than i know about coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
