<p>[QUOTE=&quot;4504, post: 2352023, member: 77402&quot;]As an experienced coin collector, which means almost nothing because one can be &quot;experienced&quot; with incompetence, it is with my experiences with slabbed/graded coins that NGC is, without question, the strictest graders out there.&nbsp; You can even request (at additional cost of course) to have your coin re-graded if you feel you got a lower grade than you expected, but from what I understand at NGC the coin goes through 3 graders and they all have to agree on the grade.&nbsp; I recently had a 1987 gold coin graded/slabbed by NGC, it came back as a MS-67.&nbsp; I personally feel that it should have been a 68, but nobody in the business will ever accuse NGC of overgrading a coin.&nbsp; However, if I had chosen several of the lessor known graders, it problably would have come back as a 70, which I would not even have agreed with.&nbsp; the thing is that most coin buyers know these are unreliable companies.&nbsp; stick with a company with an excellent record, in the end, when it comes time to sell, you will be ahead of getting your coins value.&nbsp; nobody is going to trust a company (or your coin for that matter) that grades your coin as a 69 or 70 if there are defects... scratches, blems, dents, etc. visable to the human eye.&nbsp; just my 2 cents...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
