As a result of the Coin World article I thought I'd see where the membership stood. Thanks.

You forgot NTC. They're working hard to unseat ACG as the king of sleaze.

Wait'll CoinWorld finds out about this!
Here's a warning parable for coin collectors...
Also insulted, where is PGS?
Bwhaa......BWWHHAAA.................BBWWWHHHHHAAAA.....................
I want to take my vote back - it is nothing but elitist snobbery that snubs and shuns the little guy
PGS has every right to be included - got to call my attorney!!! Give me my vote back you elitst snobs!!!! No respect for newcomers!

being an authorized anything is not a requirement for this survey. in fact, the only requirement is that you have an opinion. we can't get more unscientific than that, can we??? you see, i'm going with the stretch that each voter will have done his/her own little scientific study to arrive at the bias as reflected in the vote. i did mine to the tune of about $300 invested with no return as yet realized.

Consider yourself lucky. I'm out $2600 because of Accugrade (What an oxymoron).
I thought about doing such a survey, but, didn't know how to set it up. Good job! - even though "unscientific".

what cracked me up about the alphabetica order is that i did it that way so nobody could whine about the order the services were listed in. and then when the thread is entered it turns out that the first option listed is already checked!!! the majority of respondents have only had to scroll down to click on the "vote" button. kind of ironic the way it worked out.

Hmmm... well one way to interpret your poll results would be to say that ANACS, ICG, NGC, PCI,SEGS,NTC and PGS are ALL better than PCGS since they received less votes as being the worst

i notice the apparent conflict in your post and bi-line. what strikes me as funny is that i believe halloween had it's origin as all-saints-eve or something like that. at any rate, it was originally not what it's morphed into today where it seems to be about the "dark side" of the human experience.
there aren't many trick-or-treater's that come down my street and even less who stop at my house. i think they think it's haunted!!!!!
to all-------i find it ironic that we seem to have a two horse race here. not even close to neck-and-neck down the back stretch, but a little expressed angst towards PCGS i would imagine. ANACS and SEGS would appear to be right in the middle of the road, not prominent enough to really corner a large share of the grading market yet doing nothing to really turn anyone off totally. a good niche to fit into!!!

You know, I just had an idea. We could give out ACG slabs to the trick or treaters. They ask for a treat and we trick them!
Well Keets,
There you go again, showing your obvious bias against the little guy by leaving out PGS in your summary. PGS, struggling hard to supply the "Best Customer Service in the Industry". Its OK, PGS won't whine, cry, or make false accusations, threaten to leave the forum, or threaten legal action (can't afford a mean and nasty attorney like that other company basking in the southern sunshine, showing off massive locks of golden 1960s hair - is it AT'd). PGS will just plug away, providing the "Best Customer Service in the Industry".
Clankeye - you getting all this?
Pcgs B They Need to Be more Consistent for the common collector...
Ngc C They Need A lot Of Work But Seem To Be trying...
Anacs C- I have gotten more upgrades in anacs holders!!!!
All the others should just get out of the coin grading business
i gotta be honest, the only reason i left PGS off in the first place is because i have no experience with them what-so-ever. can't even tell you what the initials stand for. i do think there was one of their slabs at a club auction back 3-4 months ago because i remember sending a PM to conder101 about it-----i'd have to check to make sure. if it was them, the coin looked OK but it was a common date morgan that i had no interest in. i'm familiar to some extent with all the others, either through ownership or opinion from looking at slabs in hand/online. as per my previous post, maybe PGS will end up where SEGS and ANACS are, content with their "middle-of-the-pack" status and serving a useful purpose for collectors.

Fair enough - here are some examples:
PGS_The Premier_FE/IHC_Grading_Service
if you notice in one of my previous replies i spoke directly to that. from what i understand, whenever a poll is started the first choice is automatically checked off when the thread is entered, not unlike a lot of net stuff where there are several choices. the only difference being that at a web site or even in a windows option the most obvious choice is usually checked. hey, come to think of it, that's the same way this worked out!!!!

i guess i'd have to say ya got me!!!!!!!!!!!
as it turms out the slervice i had asked mike about was IGS and not PGS. one thing about the PGS holders, you have a corner on the market so you can control price relevant to rarity of slab!! what an edge.
