<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jaelus, post: 3805111, member: 46237&quot;]You know I&#039;m a PCGS member as well as NGC, right? I don&#039;t by any means dislike PCGS. I use them for most US coins, and I think their service for world tokens and medals is superior to NGC. There is only one series of world token that I still use NGC for, and it is because I started the series with NGC many years ago. All new world tokens and medals worth slabbing I send to PCGS.</p><p><br /></p><p>As far as not getting the grades I want from PCGS for world coins, you&#039;re right, but it&#039;s because their grades are too high. I don&#039;t want an MS64 in a PCGS MS66 slab. I cross PCGS world coins down when they go to NGC, and they come back with grades that are more in line with reality.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for reality, most world collectors prefer their coins raw. Most world slabbers are US collectors and dealers who are used to slabbing, with some foreign submitters looking to increase the liquidity of their coins on online marketplaces. The nuances between the TPGs for this purpose is mostly an argument between advanced world collectors in the US, which is exactly what you have on cointalk. I wonder, if the poll results so far supported your assertions, would you be so quick to dismiss it?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
