Hello Keets, next question. Is it because more

eagle7

people desire PCGS registry sets or because of something else. Maybe pops. Or are NGC registry sets playing a distant second?

As far as proofs go, I like PCGS grading better....

I'm not Keets. But I think the standards are slighty different between NGC and PCGS for those 1950s Cameo Proof Jeffersons... I have plenty of both to compare and I will usually pay more for PCGS graded PR Jeffs...

Hello Carl, thank you and everyone for your input. I agree that the PCGS grading of 50's proofs has been better, much better than NGC in the past. But is it still better? I have used only PCGS for so long, since the early 90's and never NGC. But I saw lots of NGC coins and I did not like them as well. Usually. Maybe some on the boards here who use both could comment.

..........Now people like PCGS, in the future it maybe some one else.......Quick bucks now or wait for the big payoff, Who knows.................

On most NGC Registry Sets the point totals are just stupid. For example in the Morgan Set, they'll give you 3 points for a semi-key date thats worth $3000 and 1200 points for an ugly common $300 1884CC in Mint state. Or in the Mint sets, a MS67 Roosevelt dime well be overgraded by them as a MS68*-- getting 3,800 points but some monster PCGS MS67 Washingtons (with one ms68 known) get 300 points and a ulta rare FBL MS66 Frankie gets 1200 points. They just make zero sense and think their overgraded coins are worth more in value and points than they are.

So why play at all?
