<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Tom B, post: 1778648, member: 11854&quot;]I&#039;ve been in this business a long time and can tell you that in the last fifteen years the market has slanted heavily toward favoring PCGS for high grade type, which includes high grade Lincoln cents.&nbsp; The two companies are about the same in short-term timeframe consistency, in my opinion, but I think the NGC standards have changed a little bit more than the PCGS standards have over the years.&nbsp; Also, the NGC proprietary standards of grading this grade range are, on average, slightly less stringent than the similar PCGS standards, based upon my experience. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>This means that an identically graded coin may cost less in an NGC holder than a PCGS holder, but it also may generate less upon resale.&nbsp; Additionally, the liquidity of the coin in the NGC holder might be a smidge less even with the price reduction.&nbsp; If I were advising one of my own clients, I would suggest building a set of PCGS graded coins because I realize that all sets are meant to be sold at some time in the future and that PCGS certified coins are typically a somewhat easier sale than NGC certified coins.&nbsp; Of course, some coins would grade the same no matter which holder is chosen and both companies can make some apparently large errors in grade on a coin-by-coin basis.&nbsp; Your mission is to find those accurately or conservatively graded coins at fair prices and with great eye appeal and then to incorporate them into your set.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
