[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 8666281, member: 10461"]I really couldn’t say. There are so many variables. A lot of it comes down to people’s [I]perceptions[/I] of accuracy and consistency. No grading service is 100% accurate or consistent. It mostly comes down to reputation in the end. In terms of overall [I]general[/I] reputation, they rank just about in the order you have them listed in your poll, I think. But in certain categories, one might have a higher reputation than another. For example, I think NGC might have a slight edge over PCGS in World coins. And in Canadian coins, ICCS, which doesn’t even make this list, has a strong reputation. It’s hard to go wrong with either of the “big Two” (PCGS or NGC).
