<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tmoneyeagles, post: 2716374, member: 17557&quot;]On my first day there some years ago I got into an all out flame war when I made the claim that there is a <i>possibility </i>that there is a coin that exists in a PCGS holder--from any generation--that is overgraded by at least 2 grades on the Sheldon scale. The responses dismissed that theory entirely, while throwing shade at NGC, insinuating that they overgrade coins by 2 or more on the Sheldon scale all the time. Imagine that: people at CU actually believe that in PCGS&#039; entire history, not <i>one single coin</i> has been overgraded by 2 points, but for their top competitor, those are a dime a dozen on any given Tuesday.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i.imgur.com/o31ilxM.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>This is the best advice there is.</p><p><br /></p><p>PCGS price guides are almost always on the inflated side, and if I&#039;m not mistaken, are meant to reflect the value of coins in those grades in a PCGS holder.</p><p><br /></p><p>NGC, from my experience, is more down to Earth, however, the best online price guide that I&#039;ve used is Numismedia. Their values seem to be more elastic, but still aren&#039;t perfect.</p><p><br /></p><p>As Doug stated, quick searches through completed listings on eBay and Heritage are the best way to determine the going rates for any coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
