TimNH Valued Member United States 418 Posts	Posted Yesterday 8:00 pm I'm on the hunt for a nice mid-grade Liberty Cap Cent, and was watching these auctions. What do you make of the final sales price (incl fees) - NGC VF25, non-CAC, $1891 PCGS VF20, CAC, $3600 Double the price for the PCGS coin! Both "head of 1794" so not like some rare variety. I know CAC adds some value, but that much? I actually like the NGC a little better because of the color.. Anyway, thoughts appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff

numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 11937 Posts	Posted Yesterday 9:14 pm I like the NGC better bc of the price, I think the pcgs coin is a higher grade though not as attractive. IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

barryg Pillar of the Community United States 5908 Posts	Posted Yesterday 9:47 pm I don't understand how the PCGS example could possibly have a lower grade than the NGC example. All the letters and numbers are clear with the PCGS coin, whereas they are heavily worn on the NGC coin. I'm not saying I'd necessarily pay twice as much for the PCGS coin, but I personally think it's a much better example and definitely worth more regardless of the grade assigned.
