<p>[QUOTE=&quot;WingedLiberty, post: 1937252, member: 26030&quot;]For Copper Coins (Lincoln Cents esp) ... PCGS is more strict and grades will be lower by typically 1 grade over NGC.&nbsp;&nbsp; So an NGC PR67, will generally come back as a PCGS PR66.&nbsp; This is just a generalization and sometimes the opposite will be true for particular cases -- though that might be due to PCGS&#039;s inconsistency as someone else mentioned.</p><p><br /></p><p>For Morgans, grades seem to be closer, however NGC is more lenient on color. PCGS seems to go NUTS with their Genuine Questionable Color designation at times.</p><p><br /></p><p>NGC also misses a lot of problem coins.&nbsp; I know of several coins that were graded by NGC as problem free, but PCGS detected &quot;Tooling&quot;, &quot;Altered Surface - Lacquer&quot;, &quot;Cleaning&quot;, etc.&nbsp;&nbsp; So I have more faith in problem free PCGS coins.&nbsp; For this reason I rarely buy super expensive NGC coins (say over $900 or so) because you can easily get burned.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
