The coins graded by PCGS are VASTLY superior... or perhaps

... a fool and his money are soon parted. who knows..I think the latter over the former. I also think that people who buy these common coins in PCGS holders for huge premiums have more dollars than sense (or cents). I am quite certain that I'll receive nasty grams from those PCGS owners who would disagree. I have some PCGS coins on this site but I can tell you I did't pay multiples over NGC just to get an over-rated slab that has a decent coin in it.

The pictured coin was graded by PCGS and is in my registry set. They took my money but failed to attrib this error variety. No VDB initials. Thanks PCGS for outstanding customer service (NOT).
