<p>[QUOTE="Ed Zak, post: 16847, member: 824"]I have sent coins to PCGS and waited nearly 2 months for them to grade coins. I did so that in the event I want to liquidate/trade these coins, I know that PCGS coins get a premium for the same coin in the same grade. Of course, the debate is the word "same"...almost like is, is!</p><p><br /></p><p>Otherwise, I like using ICG for they are doing all of the right things (in my opinion). Their slabs with the Intercept Shield provide the best slabbing protection over any other grading service and I always pay the additional $3 for the Intercept Shield. This way, all things being equal compared to other grading companies, their coins are going to STAY a particular color and tone. Plus the black background really shows the true color of the coin. Since black, from a color science aspect is absent of color, it does not reflect color. Also, their grading seems fair and conservative...but that's just me![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
