<p>[QUOTE="RedTiger, post: 1228602, member: 19098"]I agree with the point about checking auction results. I disagree with some of the other points. There are swaths of the coin market where PCGS plastic does tend to mean a significant price difference at auction. Again, they may not apply to the coins that the person making such statements buys, but there are certainly many cases where it does apply. For high value coins, say numismatic coins above $2000 in value, the price differences tend to be greater than for lower value coins. Some examples in lower price ranges might include high grade Buffalo nickels, most high grade moderns (post 1950) and ultra moderns (post 1982). There are many more, these are off the top of my head where auction archives will show strong evidence of real and measurable average differences, not one or two exceptional coins. Again, best for collectors to check the archives for the coins they collect. It can also be informative to look at results for other companies as well, because the average price differences are often even greater. Again, isolated examples are one thing, many data points become evidence.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
