  • I like PCGS because I believe they undergrade everything that I purchase. Therefore I always feel I am getting a fantastic deal. I am paying more than the grade listed on the slab, but less than what my perceived value of the coin is.

    I do have to say, though, that NGC has WAY better turnaround time.

    ANACS because they grade Lincolns better. PCGS is second, NGC is a distant third.

    I don't endorse either until they send me a check.

    I prefer PCGS because they have consistantly higher standards in my two collecting interests, early type and $20 Libs. But then, WTH do I know?

  • I think that PCGS and NGC are comparable. PCGS is probably a notch better at grading, but NGC has superior customer service. It's cool to able to call NGC and talk to David Lange and any of the graders without being tossed around like a turd in a bowl.

    As far as the absolute worst TPG's? Well, I think that Numistrust should be lumped in with Osama Bin Laden. Same for PCI. These people are freakin' theives and should be strung up. ACG is dead, so who cares.....

    I think they are both good with PCGS being on the tight side. One thing I can't stand is the NGC holder. It looks like crap to me.

    Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.

    PCGS slabs fit into Eagle albums better. PCGS are easier to take good photos of.
