Has anyone else noticed that NGC considers their generic gold coins to be more valuable than PCGS?

Goldbully

Has anyone else noticed this trend? I have been buying some generic slabbed gold in NGC and PCGS holders in the past month or so.

I have been checking both the NGC and PCGS price guides, and it's amazing how much higher the NGC pricing grids are.

Not to mention a gold $5 Liberty MS63 in a NGC holder probably wouldn't make it into a PCGS MS61 holder in my short term experience for the past two months.

I would love to hear from others who have been buying generic slabbed gold

and could shed some light on my comments.

I don't know where NGC is getting those prices. 1900 $5 MS 63 is $610 on PCGS price guide

NGC has the same coin at $825. NGC shows the coin has gained value in the last 12 months.



Recent sales on eBay have been in the $480-515 range.

Price guides are notoriously useless. I see this as a thinly veiled attempt to yet again bash NGC. Did you also start a thread here to question the gold coin prices listed in CoinValues magazine?



I also disagree with your overarching, exaggerated, and blanket statement that P63 ~= N61.



Those are my interpretations of your comments.

They're TPGs (third party graders). Maybe they want to be TPPs (third party poopers)

I consider my gold coins more valuable than either NGC or PCGS.... they are mine... therefore,

they are valuable. Cheers, RickO

Unless the coin is a specifically rare date, the price guides are beyond retail for the most part. And even for the better dates, the price guides should be used for only reference purposes.

I bought some double eagles on eBay from a guy who was liquidating an estate and sent them to NGC.
I got some nice deals
