Does This Really Matter To Most Collectors?

On ebay, overall the prices are comparable with some exceptions. I think this is a direct result of NGC's partnership with ebay in providing the information on a specific coin based on the serial number.

I think the reason that Franklins in particular are realizing higher prices in PCGS slabs is due to the fact that the population report is also available for the NGC graded coins. It shows up right in the auction. And, from what I've seen, NGC went on a rampage with assigning MS65 grades to Franklins.

The population report numbers are staggering. I would also like to point out that I have disagreed with quite a number of these MS65 grades. JMHO

Okay catman, why do you prefer Anacs? I have preferrence for NGC simply because I believe that they are more consistent in their grading standards today. Now that doesn't mean that we use them exclusively. We will submit to PCGS if the particular coin needs to hit the higher value, (yes, I am a capitalist). We also use Anacs for any varieties as NGC and PCGS seem to have no clue about attribution. Now I have been doing a lot of research on IGC this past year. Their holders are by far the best on the market. Once I feel that their grading standards are dependable enough, they will be added to the group. This is just a personal preferrence.
