[QUOTE="imrich, post: 20169908, member: 22331"]I've been using TPG services since they were first publicly offered, and have tried all. I specifically dealt in high value scarce coins, offering coins in Numismatic publications. My primary clients were of ethnicity known for their tenacity and shrewd trading techniques, spending hours trying to negotiate a reduction of a similar PCGS coin to that of an NGC, even though the difference was only a minor 2 digit amount. We usually split the difference! The only time I can remember a PCGS similar coin having a general price same as NGC was when they had legal trading problems. I generally found the second tier TPG services equal or better than the first tier, all factors considered. I no longer will directly submit to first tier TPG, because of their grading practices, and have experienced dealers who attend all major shows to buy my first tier 1977 Copyright A.N.A. standard coins. The first tier TPG are grading MS67 on some coins that wouldn't meet 1977 MS60 standard. The current find for this week is a 1910-S $20 PCGS MS62 CAC - OGH, that will regrade PCGS MS65, or CAC MS64 in the future. Last weeks' coin was a 1923-D $20 PCGS MS64 CAC that will regrade PCGS MS67, or CAC MS66 in the future. JMHO[/QUOTE]
