<p>[QUOTE="09S-V.D.B, post: 165198, member: 4379"]For modern coins, I believe that PCGS is overly tight and NGC is a little better. For example, PCGS rarely grades uncirculated ASE's as 70 because they are worried the coins may later develop milk spots and they (PCGS) will have to pay out or buy the coin back. So, many coins in 69 holders are actually perfect 70's. NGC seems to have no problem handing out 70's when the coins deserve the grade. I chose PCGS only because the market value of a PCGS 70 is higher than that of an ANACS/ NGC/ ICG 70.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
