I just won this coin off HA. I have never bought a coin graded by ICG because I had heard they are not as good as PCGS or NGC. I saw this coin in VG08 and I really like the looks of the coin. I have had a few other Draped bust halves graded VG8 and this one seems to have much more detail. any opinions, good or bad?

Thanks, Steve

    Here is your link. That IS a nice coin; raw, ICG slabbed, NGC slabbed or PCGS slabbed. Congrats!

    Looks fine to me, you have to look at the coin not the holder. I purchased an 1811 bust half in an ICG xf40 holder from Osburn that graded it an XF45. He was willing to crack it out and let me send it to PCGS for grading and if it didn't come back an XF45 he'd give a refund. Grading by several TPG's are generally good in circulated grades since it more black and white, it's when you get to the MS grades it gets tougher.

    Based on the image, I think you have acquired a decent coin at a very fair price.
