"you can pay more for a PCGS coin, but, the only difference is that it's in a different holder.

NTC...1964 PR69 RD...less than PCGS Nice title SPAM. Anything to get the hits on the auction.

Ya, sounds exactly like the argument used in the PCGS vs NGC threads

That happens a lot to name brands. If you are looking for a Hobart mixer (top selling name brand), people will list mixers on ebay as "NOT A HOBART" so when you search for "hobart" it comes up.

Ah, yes, Hobart. The Mercedes of mixers (I used to be in the donut biz.)

I started an auction once: "PCGS? NGC? ANACS? NO! PCI!" and eBay yanked it. That was back when I didn't know it was bad manners to spam the headline.

My second favorite is those who quote the PCGS price guide for their NTC/ ICG stuff.

well well well.................. my my my.................

personally i like all the grading services but some more than others lots more in fact.....lol
but if i was going to buy something slabbed i would buy the coin not the holder

now if the coin to me is a GREAT!! coin and walks and talks and sings to me well then it is just a very nice bonus!! to have that particiular slabbed coin already in a pcgs holder!

but nonetheless if the coin is to me a GREAT! coin then it doesnot matter to me whose holder it is in!
