<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1110869, member: 112&quot;]It depends on the series, on some PCGS is tougher and others NGC is tougher.</p><p><br /></p><p>And yes I agree, always have agreed, that as a general rule the PCGS coins will bring better money. But - a very large part of the reason for that is because there are so many plastic buyers out there. If people would get over the PCGS is better no matter what crap and look at the coins instead of the plastic, the rest of that price difference would go away.</p><p><br /></p><p>I say the rest of it because it used to be a whole lot worse than it is now. In the last 6 to 8 years the prices that coins in NGC slabs bring has gained a lot of ground compared to similar coins in PCGS slabs. But that&#039;s because a lot of people have wised up - they started looking at the coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>And rld - none of those auctions I linked are a year apart, but a couple are 6 months apart. Point is though, I didn&#039;t have to search through page after page to find them. I just looked on the first page that comes up in the search. And if it&#039;s that easy to find them, then it happens quite often. </p><p><br /></p><p>And I did try to find coins that were similar to each other. In other words I didn&#039;t pick an NGC coin with monster toning or anything vs a PCGS coin that didn&#039;t have any toning. In those cases I posted the coins are similar. But the NGC coins did bring higher prices.</p><p><br /></p><p>All I&#039;m trying to do is to get folks to realize that the coin makes a bigger difference than the plastic does. You&#039;ll be better off if you realize that. Making blanket statements that one is always better than the other is foolish.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
