<p>[QUOTE="kidkayt, post: 1227787, member: 7275"]GDJMSP I entirely agree with you. I have purchased coins which look great to my eye but have low numerical grades for both low and high prices simply because (1) I really liked the coin and thought the price was low or (2) I was willing to pay a bit extra for a real gem in a low grade casket. I'm talking Morgans in particular where one can get some very nice 64s which look better / have greater appeal than 65/66 coins. With regards to NGC vs PCGS I recently picked up a set of the special 2004-5 nickels graded PF70 by NGC. I got them at a great price ~ $ 12 each. I put them under my 100X microscope and each and every one of them looks perfect - NO FLAWS! I got a great deal. I care not for the brand of plastic. These coins are gems! (No doubt the PCGS variants would have been priced much higher)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
