numismo Rest in Peace United States 3039 Posts	Posted 11/20/2009 9:19 pm Does anyone have experience with ICG grading service? How are they with cost, turn around and accuracy? Have they nudged out ANACS for a spot in the top 3 TPGs? An inquiring mind wants to know. Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

I've got a couple coins in ICG that are accurately graded. I sold a couple ICG coins that were over-graded a couple points. ICG has been through some difficult times lately (don't know the details) and I believe ANACS has a solid hold on #3 in the TPG race. Since I haven't submitted to ICG myself I can't comment on turn=around times but their prices seem reasonable and if you just need a coin authenticated they would be fine.

deadmunny Pillar of the Community United States 619 Posts	Posted 05/09/2010 04:21 am The following ebay sales reflect a wide discrepancy in ICG and NGC for the 2002 ASE MS-70. The latter is going for four times that of the ICG. I checked if this was an anomaly and it is not, as there are several completed sales that reflect this. Why the huge discrepancy? Is ICG too liberal in their grading?

nolawyer Pillar of the Community United States 763 Posts	Posted 05/09/2010 10:24 am I only have 2 ICG slabbed coins and I think both of them are over-graded. I know that is not a very scientific sample. As for NGC & PCGS, PCGS gets much higher realized prices in Teletrade auctions especially for MS65+ coins. Report this Post to the Staff
