Eisenhower Dollar Prices, NGC vs PCGS?

I have noticed eBay prices for NGC Eisenhower dollars appear to be moving up in relation to PCGS prices. Has anyone else noticed this? Do you think it has anything to do with Rick Montgomery moving to NGC?

I'm sure it does. That Rick is one of the sharpest tacks in the box.

People who don't know any better are buying those NGC coins. Only PCGS coins have any value. There is a reason those coins are in NGC slabs and that is because NGC over grades coins by several points or the coins have problems. Why buy a NGC MS-67 Ike dollar when it would only be a PCGS MS-63. You are getting screwed by buying NGC coins. Wake up people! PCGS coins only!

First of all, welcome to the boards!
I have many NGC coins of great eye appeal and value. Your statement is poorly thought out and outright wrong.

FanofModerns,

I'm not sure what you do for a living, but quit work Tuesday. You have just discovered a genie in a bottle. All you have to do is buy PCGS MS63's and send them to NGC for their 67 holder. Since the NGC 67's are slightly more valuable in the current confused market than PCGS MS63's, you should easily make 10x on every one you can buy. Congratulations on your new found fortune.

Edited to add - OK, that was a very sarcastic post, and I should play nicer.

I disagree with your premise, but would also like to welcome you to the forum.

I have had 3 out of 6 NGC MS66 Clad Ikes cross to PCGS, but the only reason I tried to get them to cross is because they seem to be worth more in the PCGS holder. I have not seen enough NGC Clad Ikes to have an opinion a grading comparison.
