I was using NGC as a way to keep track of all my graded coins in one place. I'm leaning towards going to PCGS for US coins and keep NGC for world coins.

The way PCGS scores their sets is less complicated then the dynamic NGC registry scores so you don't need to check the scores for individual coins. Here a plus grade on a coin can mean the difference of a 1000 points or only 50 while on the PCGS registry it's 0.5 unless it makes it a top pop and you get the bonus. I figure the change to PCGS will increase the number of coins in my collection quicker and for a lot less money; for example, I can settle for the MS 67 buffalo instead of trying to get a MS 67+ which costs 4 times as much. I think it will also allow me to focus on just collecting coins I like because it will be harder to get to the top on their lists so I probably won't even try or at least have it as less of a priority.

Additionally, I can't see crossing my PCGS coins to NGC as it will instantly loose value if it only crosses at the same grade.

I am disappointed in the decision to no longer accept PCGS coins. I'm not sure how I will proceed. I'm fairly new here so I doubt my thoughts will have much impact on NGC's decision but I wanted to atleast let them know I am disappointed.

Could we get a Columbia, Gold 5 Pesos. 1919-1924 with Simon Bolivar, Large Bust.

Thanks
