[QUOTE="gmarguli, post: 77388, member: 246"]Without knowing what type of coins you have, it is impossible to say which service. NGC: Consistent grading, fast turnaround times, good customer service, they usually sell for good prices. PCGS: Inconsistent grading, slow turnaround times, no customer service, prices realized are usually good, but if they screw you on the grades and undergrade your coins, a PQ price for an undergraded coin is still less than an average price for an accurately graded coin. ANACS: Fairly consistent grading and are better with circulated coins, great turnaround time if you use the low-cost express, but awful if you use economy, poor customer service, prices realized can be hit or miss. ICG: Modern grading sucks, classic grading can be hit or miss, average turnaround times, good customer service, prices realized can be very lacking. Others: Why bother.[/QUOTE]
