I am thinking of using NGC for error coins. I have five Monroes error coins being graded right now, I think it cost me somewhere around $240 to have them graded. I just got back my commerative bald eagle all ten graded pr69 dcam. I was sure some of the $5 gold pieces would grade pr70 but out of the five all came back pr69 dcam. That is what they do and they are tough on grades but at least when I decide to sell my buyers know they are getting a true pr69 dcam. Thanks !! Coinz24

I have bought a few ICG, ANACS, SEGS and maybe another here and there, and there is just no comparison. It is a shame that there are some people selling "slabbed coins" on EBay that you have never heard of. I have seen comments like "clearly, NONE of these coins are even CLOSE to PR69DC - RIP OFF" or something similar. I personally stick with PCGS, but I would not be afraid to buy NGC either. Just a feeling, but at some point I will be able to accurately compare the true selling prices of both and then I might do some random buying to compare the quality of the coins. But I have read that for some coin series, NGC grades harder, and other series PCGS grades harder, while for some series they both grade nearly the same. shrug I couldn't grade a RAW coin to save my life, so I leave it up to the professionals!
