<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bob Keller, post: 11884, member: 908&quot;]I would agree with Ed Zak about professional grading firms - but if you plan on listing these items on eBay - you may as well get five coins graded by NTC for the price on one PCGS.&nbsp; There are many &#039;newbees&#039; collecting coins on eBay and after I look at the completed auctions - </p><p>they can&#039;t understand the difference between an NTC 62 and NCG 62.</p><p>Unless NTC has significantly increased their grading standards - </p><p>the &#039;newbee&#039; is paying a significant premium for a coin inferior to the same grade by PCGS/NCG/ICG.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve seen a friend take raw coins graded AU-55-58 by local coin dealers -send them in to NTC - and get back MS-61&#039;s and 62&#039;s, consign them to a eBay trading assistant and net out $$$$.&nbsp; But he&#039;s not doing anything different from what I&#039;ve seen major eBay coin dealers doing on eBay when they hype the price by using &#039;Coin Trends.&#039;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
