Are Credit and Pamp the PCGS and NGC of the gold bullion world?

Which is which?

Would that make Silvertowne ANACS? Or APMEX?

    It doesn't make sense to compare bullion companies where all bars from legitimate companies have the same metal content and slabbing companies where the quality and consistency of the grading can vary quite a lot.

    I don't get the analogy. Would make more sense to compare them to car makes/models.

    Pamp & Credit suisse silver bars would be on top of the list as they sell for $30-$60/oz
    JM & Engelhard Next as they bring a decent premium
    Silvertowne, NWT, ect in 3rd as being reputable companies that bring a very small premium if any
    and other (generic) bars in fourth. Art bars and collectible barsget their own category.

    Its completely different for other metals as JM & Engelhard seem to bring a better premium over Pamp & Credit suisse or any other bars when it comes to Gold, Platinum and esp Palladium.
    Its all relative
