If you had 10 unopened boxes of 20th ASE silver dollars, whick grading service would you use?? My Q centers around comments I read here mentioning that PCGS wouldnt grade any of these 70.

20 times out of a 100 the same coin will grade a point higher at NGC than at PCGS. The higher graded NGC coin may sell for double what it would sell for in the lower PCGS holder. That's why it is not an easy question to answer.
With 10 boxes, one way to answer is to look at the pops for the coins to be submitted. Take an average percentage. Look at Teletrade and Ebay auction results for each grade and calculate out an average value if average grades are received. This is quite a bit of leg work, but perhaps the best way to get an objective answer. Real world results usually vary from the average, however, with ten boxes, averages may work out well.

Only the business strike coin will bring significantly more as an NGC 70 than as a PCGS 69. The others are pretty close. And, if he scores some PCGS 70's on the RP and the regular proof, the selling prices would blow away the selling prices for NGC material. In moderns, the spread is HUGE between the two companies.

While that statement is quite true, Everyone knows that PCGS will NEVER give the 2006 W Unc Coin an MS70.
NGC will give 2006 W Unc Coin an MS70. I would say that you have a chance for 2 out of the (10) 2006 W Unc Coin getting an MS70.
That would be an additional $400-500 in the Market if you were to sell on those (2) COINs ALONE! The probability that you will get get 2-3 70/70/70 is good.
Bottom line?
NGC with out a doubt is were I would go to insure that MY OWN INTEREST and financial risk is rewarded.

true but with the ASE sets I'd still send to PCGS.
if they were all 2006W burnished then NGC, but I would look at them first, because it doesn't matter if those have been opened unless FS is on the table.
odds are you need some luck to get a 70 anyway, with tens sets, it's 50/50 to get one 70 in RP or burnished (if NGC) and Russ made a very valid point if you score a 70 on the regular proof through PCGS.

I believe it does matter because the Anniversary labels are going for more than the regular labels (at the moment $165 vs $120).

I meant the single Z6F.
IF they were all Z6F instead of the sealed A10 sets, sorry for the confusion.

now, that is an answer for the ages!

Unfortunately they are absolutely swamped with coins right now and are unable to accept submissions from the general public, if you do not beleive me write them and ask.

Yeah, they keep themselves pretty busy.
