PCGS Undergrades, which is why their items bring more $

I am not a dealer, just a lowly collector who recently switched from PCGS back to NGC because I am sick of spending too much money and waiting forever to get my coins back.   One of the other primary reasons I had for switching was that I feel very strongly that PCGS undergrades as a marketing technique. If you feel that PCGS coins are "better", the reason is that you are really paying less for the next grade (or in some cases 2 grades) up.   Obviously this isn't true 100% of the time, bu

I'm against it

Frankly, I prefer ANACS to the other second and third tier grading services.

I like the way this works!

I was feeling pretty frustrated because of the issues with the site - not the best way to get started.

Very disappointing and mystifying...

I just switched back over from PCGS and am not happy about this server business.   I work for a software company and it appears that whomever is overseeing this upgrade has not tested before "go live". When you are dealing with other people's money, it is usually a good idea to test before applying an upgrade. I have a difficult time believing that NGC doesn't have sufficient resources to obtain a test server.   Why can't they give us any more specifics on the issue? I certainly hope
