I like NGC and PCGS both, ANACs third. Some people drink the kool aid and say PCGS is the best and blah blah, I say both are good and both make mistakes. My collection is mixed with NGC, PCGS, and some ANACs.

I haven't sent anything it to any of the TPGs but I tend to agree with NGC when it comes to colonials and store cards. Especially with Colonials.

I have always been happy with the job NGC does.

Thanks for the responses!

I have a capped bust half, a few Morgans and Peace dollars that I am considering sending in, so thought I would see which company graded specific coins most fairly.

I personally prefer NGC, but mainly because I like the holder. Though its hard going against the market and sale prices. As a new collecter I don't know the history, is there any fluctuation as to which company is more vogue at the time?

ANACS every time and never PCGS or NGC. I refuse to pay at least twice as much to get the same results. I have not sent a single coin to ANACS that I have been unhappy with.

For varieties, I seem to see ANACS being the most dead on. I could be wrong... Trust me, it happens

All I can say for sure is that John Roberts at ANACS is awesome at VAM attribution.

Here we are three years later, and I still wonder how people will answer this question.

Any new opinions?

I try to stick to the big two, which seems to be the best bet for resale a well. For paper money, I much prefer PMG (NGC) to PCGS.

I stick to ANACS when submitting, because I live 8 miles from their headquarters, and it costs me no more than $7.50 a coin to holder, and for buying, I only do PCGS for set registry reasons. My favorite are Morgan dollars (not by VAM).

I do submit coins on behalf of others though. I must charge more than $7.50 because of shipping.

I'm going to get in on that ANACS deal the next time I'm in Colorado. I mentioned it to a friend there and was told there's a great sushi restaurant near Englewood. (Although I'm not sure where to submit coins. Two different addresses/cities listed for ANACS.)

Have you shared your PCGS registry? I see all these posts of your latest acquisitions.

In my own experience, all my coins are PCGS graded; I've consistently gotten less money when selling NGC graded coins, compared to PCGS. A CAC sticker will also add about 10% to the retail price.
