Survey
Hi, In response to Dennis Edwards post about the ANA and the PNG's survey that ranks TPG's. NGC is the official grading service for the ANA and the PNG. PCGS was the official service for the PNG until recently and PCGS had to remove PNG from there label. IMO that is a conflict of interest. Maybe someone more "neutral" should do a survey.
Don't forget SGS, NNGC, MMCGC, WCG, PGCS
ICG does not over grade any more than NGC. NGC has graded a lot more coins ms-70 than PCGS has. Does that mean NGC is bad??? And as far as who is looking for a "sucker" to take advantage of, We all know Robert (Shop at Home) will say anything it takes to separate people from their money. It has been said that no body can grade 15,000 coins ms-70 " First Day of Issue" in one day. But what I can't understand is how can coins be graded BU (witch is not in
POP Reports
If the POP reports show any one grading service is better than any other then PCGS should be the best because their POP's are lower than any other service. It has been said that ICG is not as Conservative as NGC. The current NGC POP reports show that NGC has grading 70 sets of ASE's at MS-70 and PCGS's current reports show they have not yet graded a set of ASE's at MS-70. According to the numbers it appears NGC is not as Conservative as PCGS. Does that mean we should no buy NGC gra
TPG's
I agree with Jackson's view about our hobby. And if I may add my 2 cents worth. I think the ANA should stand up and police our hobby, That is what they were founded for. They can set rules and regulations and set minimum standers for TPG's and if the TPG does not meet the standers they do not get ANA endorsement. Thanks
NGC,ICG,PCGS,ANACS
Hi, I am new to the collectors society and IMHO ICG and ANACS are not the services we need to worry about. These two services are just as legitimate as NGC and PCGS. The ones we need to worry about are the ones that are putting MS 70 and PF 70 on almost every coin they grade, and there are plenty of them out there. NTC,INS,SEGS,PCCGS,STAR GRADING,PCC,PCI just to name a few. Some services evan put fake and "doctored" coins in holders. It has been said that the ANA should set
