Message:: [QUOTE="CamaroDMD, post: 581200, member: 5233"]Several years ago, PCGS and NGC were considered the top 2 equals with ANACS coming in third and ICG fourth.  It was my understanding that there was a major change in people (many of the IGC people went to ANACS) a few years ago when it changed hands and as a result their quality declined a bit to where everyone felt ICGs had been.  But, with ICG losing those people it also declined.  Maybe things have changed...but my understanding is the older ANACS and ICG were decent but in the last few years both had declined from what they once were.  But, maybe that has changed. Either way...I don't trust any of them (PCGS or NGC) 100%.  Grading is so subjective that you have to look at each coin and decide if it's graded right or not.  Then, pay accordingly.  I know CAC has tried to take some of the purchasers knowledge out of the equation...but IMHO you still have to make the final grade. I have heard some pretty good things about them but have not seen any of their coins in hand.  They are a pretty new TPG so time will tell.[/QUOTE]
