Sosi New Member South Africa 12 Posts	Posted 07/16/2013 7:18 pm Thanks again basebal21, Silver Eagle is so popular because according to our south African opinion Kruger Rand is the king of gold while Silver Eagle is king of silver but we still trade in Leafs & Pandas as well in much smaller scale .

BluegrassRiver Valued Member United States 324 Posts	Posted 08/07/2013 12:07 pm I have used ICG when JP Martin was in charge of it and all was fine, the grading 100% accurate. I like to trust the people at the company instead of the company alone, so now I like ANACS best. As someone who likes older coins I find spending money to grade an 1997 ASE and getting a MS-69 as odd. When they mint them they should all be about MS-69 with modern coin manufacturing. Why pay for normal manufacturing standards? Report this Post to the Staff
basebal21 Bedrock of the Community 13014 Posts	Posted 08/07/2013 4:10 pm 69s used to be the top population for the most part in the 90s. It wasnt until 2004 that 69s became expected with 70s becoming prevalent. There are a few 70s in the 1990s but for PCGS theres only 37 total from 1986 through 2000. Some of the 69s were easier to get than others, but enough of them grade lower that its not the expected norm for all of them. For the 1997 coin in question a PCGS one would make sense to grade if you added it onto a submission since it would run you 60-90 dollars to buy. You could buy it for 30 then grade it for 16 as an add on to another order leaving room to make or save money depending on your intentions if you used PCGS. NGC ones sell in the 40s which wouldnt make sense though. Report this Post to the Staff

My friend and ex-owner/creator of ICG hired JP Martin, as he is one of the very best numismatic experts around. Now JP Martin works for ANACS. JP really knows his stuff, one of the foremost counterfeit dectors in the world. All the more reason to use them, and John Roberts attributing VAMs also one of the best in his field.

ndwlegal Valued Member United States 160 Posts	Posted 09/13/2013 8:51 pm Is ICG also good on saying if a coin has been cleaned? Are they as tough on an old cleaning as the other TPG's? I know a dealer with a well struck 21 Peace dollar. I like the coin, but he wants PCGS MS64 money for a ICG MS64 coin. I have been looking hard for a well struck 1921 Peace dollar so I am torn. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff
