<p>[QUOTE=&quot;josh&#039;s coins, post: 1985643, member: 51487&quot;]In the past I was thinking about starting my own grading company or partnering with NTC or NumisTrust Corporation. I could have gotten an exclusive deal with NTC however they just aren&#039;t PCGS or NGC and it all comes down to company reputation. If I did the deal with NTC I wouldn&#039;t sell any slabbed coins except those from NTC. If you were an experienced collector and saw me at a coin show or visited my site online and you only saw NTC slabs then you would get the impression that I was looking to sell over graded coins to rip people off and thus my reputation as a dealer wouldn&#039;t look so well. That&#039;s why I didn&#039;t do it. Had I been able to do something with PCGS then nobody would have a problem with it as PCGS is a reputable company.</p><p><br /></p><p>When it comes down to it it takes a lot of work to even hire the best graders in the world and even harder to ensure they consistently grade all coins accurately. The best graders in the world are employees at pcgs ngc some in ANACS and maybe a few in ICG. Everyone else gets the leftovers and the leftovers are likely to screw up more often and some do it on purpose to cater to dealers who do want to rip people off in the name of profits.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
