<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 3867, member: 112&quot;]Before I write this post - let me say this. I have never in my life submitted even 1 coin to any grading company. I probably never will. I do buy slabbed coins and own many of them. Slabbed by various companies.</p><p><br /></p><p>While PCGS may be considered to be the leading grading company by some folks - it is not by all. And many more are changing their minds about this on a daily basis. I could just about write a book on the subject of why - but I&#039;ll be brief here.</p><p><br /></p><p>PCGS ranks dead last among the grading companies when it comes to customer service. They also rank last when it comes to the amount of time it takes them to grade your coin and return it to you. And while it is open to debate - PCGS is one of if not the most inconsistent grading company. As for them being the strictest when it comes to assigning grades - this is also open to debate. PCGS&#039;s criteria for assigning coin designations like Full Bands, Full Bell Lines, Full Head, Full Steps etc etc are all less strict than those used by NGC. And it is a matter of fact not of debate that coins graded by any of the grading companies can and do occasionally get upgraded by PCGS. However - in spite of all this - there are still those who think PCGS is the most conservative of the grading companies.</p><p><br /></p><p>I will be the first to say that all of the grading companies make mistakes - none of them are perfect. They likely never will be. And all of them have their fans and their detractors. This will likey never change either. But speaking as one who does not personally use the services of the grading companies, I can honestly say if I were to choose - PCGS would not be my choice. NGC would be.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
