<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BarneyFife, post: 165593, member: 6770&quot;]I am wanting the PCGS number to be sure of exactly what coin I have, not for the price shown on their price guide.&nbsp; I am not very good at identifying coins and the PCGS number will give me a clear reference point, similar to the sheldon? number for coppers.</p><p><br /></p><p>I was able to quickly identify all of the PCGS graded coins because of the number they assigned each one. I see no such number on the NGC graded coins, thus my confusion on the 5 cent piece above.&nbsp;&nbsp; The PCGS number sure seems like a good way to classify them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Another example: An NGC graded 1872 Gold 1$ MS62.&nbsp; I don&#039;t know how to tell if this is the coin that PCGS labels as 7572 or if it is there 7622 coin.&nbsp; There is a rather large difference in price between these two variations no matter where you look for a value.&nbsp; As much as $4000 at &#039;retail&#039; for an MS62.</p><p><br /></p><p>If that is flawed thinking, please let me know a better way for a non coin collector type,&nbsp; to identify each coin quickly.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
