Which would you choose?

Okay! If you were looking to buy a 1oz $50 PROOF GOLD EAGLE as a future investment and your choices were
a PCGS PR69 DCAM and an NGC PR70 Ultra Cam....which would you buy?

    If they're the same price I would go with the NGC 70; however, I don't consider modern proof gold to be a good investment.

    well. since i have become a lot smarter, i think.

    i would want both coins on a table in front of me with good
    lighting. i would examine them both using whatever strength
    of magnification you need.

    i would then pick the better one in my opinion.

    are you buying plastic or a coin?

    thanks.
  • Well, I always buy the coin when I can actually see them in person and not the plastic. But as you all know that's not always
    possible. e.g., Teletrade, Heritage, Ebay, etc.... So I'd be taking a chance as much as anyone else.

    Also, I realize a lot of collectors go into convulsions at the thought of owning modern bullion.
    And to some degree I understand why after reading the threads here from the knowledgeable
    collectors for quite some time. Thanks for your posts!

    then it that case, since i do understand your problem, i would
    go with the PCGS slabbed coin. i prefer them over NGC "in general"
    for being a bit tighter "overall".
