<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1317874, member: 112&quot;]Anybody who actually takes the time to look at realized prices and compare NGC and PCGS will soon see that it doesn&#039;t matter which slab it is, or what the grade is, when it comes to what that realized price is. What matters is the coin. </p><p><br /></p><p>There are a couple of truths that you have to accept as fact.</p><p><br /></p><p>1 - No two of the TPGs use the same grading standards.</p><p><br /></p><p>2 - Grades are not equal, even when graded by the same company. </p><p><br /></p><p>In other words you can have 2 coins (same date/mint) both graded 65 by either NGC or PCGS (take your pick) and 1 of them will sell for half again or even twice as much as the other. Just to make sure you understand what I am saying here - you can have 2 Morgans (same date/mint), both graded 65 by NGC, and 1 sells for $350 and the other one sells for $600, or even $700. And the same thing happens with the same 2 coins when graded by PCGS. </p><p><br /></p><p>And these are not isolated incidences, it happens all the time, with all the different types of coins, in every denomination, and all date and mint combinations. And it happens with both companies.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, once you accept these truths, as facts, and it&#039;s pretty hard not to accept them as facts since the evidence is right there in front of your face, it gets pretty dang hard to say that either company is better than the other.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
