NGC "Star" Coins

Don't be "Taken" It seems that the only coins that receive a "Star" designation are coins from a hoard or are resubmitted for that designation, which requires another $16 or $30 fee depending on the value of the coin. Even then it all depends on the NGC grader if the coin is of a superior visual value. After all there are no standards. I think that the coin scanned below is worthy of a "Star" designation. Let me know what you think. It was graded NGC MS63.

The on Going NGC- PCGS battle.

MODERN COINS?? I just don't get it. The price gap between NGC and PCGS MS-PF 70's. Let's take for example a 2004 Proof ASE. You can get a NGC 70 for about $95, a PCGS will run you about $160. The only thing I can think of is that PCGS will only accept PCGS slabs in the registry. I think that the price gap will get smaller over time, whether PCGS accepts NGC slabs or not. Who knows, maybe one day we will have a third grading company that is widely accepted. Maybe ANACS will make the grad

1884-S versus 1899 Morgan

3.000.000 versus 300.000 I do not understand why a coin with a mintage of 3 million plus is valued higher than a coin with a mintage of 3 hundred and thirty thousand. When you think about it even a 1921 MS 65 Peace Dollar is worth almost $2000 more than a 1899 Morgan in the same grade eventhough there were 700.000 more Peace Dollars minted in 1921 than Morgans in 1899 in Philadelphia. I must say that coin values can truly be a difficult thing to grasp.

Final take on slabs

Food for thought I buy most of my coins on Ebay. This is where I see the price differences between NGC and PCGS graded coins, mostly in the modern commems department. NGC coins are always offered at a huge discount compared to the PCGS coins. It seems like the market is flooded with NGC coins, which can only mean that more coins are graded by NGC. I use the PCGS price guide and the Heratage Auctions to get an idea of values for coins, but only as a guide for what I will bid, and I always by th

PCGS slabbed coins bring a premium

Why? I would like to thank VUMC409 for the feedback. I see that you agree with me that PCGS slabs bring a premium, but why? Why do PCGS slabs bring a premium? That is my question. Perhaps the ANA and PNG should step aside and the grading standards should be set by PCGS. What I would like to see is that we have at least two grading companies that we can count on. I wonder how long we will have to deal with this dilemma?

NGC-PCGS Face-off

And the winner is...... I would like to see a face-off between NGC and PCGS grading modern commemoratives. I don't understand why a 2007 Little Rock NGC MS70 is so much less expensive than one graded by PCGS. And this goes for all modern commemoratives. I think most of us know that PCGS is reluctant to grade a coin MS70 or PF70. Now why is this? Perhaps they are keeping the population down to keep the prices high. Is there something going on in the grading industry that we don't know about? Af

Follow up to "NGC or PCGS"

Not NGC verses PCGS. The point I wanted to make was that I look forward to the day when either holder holds the same value. I find it almost unnearving, that even today, collectors like myself who have NGC grade thier coins, can count on that coin being worth more if graded at the same grade in a PCGS holder. I collect Morgans, and I see more often that not, that Morgans in PCGS holders go for a premium. I prefer the NGC holder, and for now I am staying with them. However, if things don't get

PCGS or NGC, that is the question.

What a difference a slab makes. I was just checking prices on 2007 Little Rock commems. A NGC MS70 or PF70 will run you between $50 and $80. The same coin in a PCGS slab will cost between $250 and $280. What is the difference? Both are reputable grading services. If I was to buy the NGC graded coins and send them to PCGS to crossover, which they should, the value of my coins would increase by $200 each. I see coins graded by PCGS almost always command a higher price. I currently have my coins

So called "error Presidetial dollars"

Don't get taken. For those of you who thought that these are error coins, this is a statement isssued by the US Mint. It has come to the attention of the United States Mint that some people are offering to sell so-called George Washington Presidential $1 "error" coins with "upside-down" edge-lettering on on-line auction sites. These coins are not "error" coins. The Presidential $1 Coins are inscribed on the edge without regard to their "heads" or "tails" orientation. The edge-incused insc

U.S. Coins

Prez Dollars It is amazing to see some one paying $100 for a coin that was minted this year but the same person will hesitate to pay $20 for a coin that minted 120 years earlier.
