Personally prefer PCGS, coins themselves being equal

I base my decision on the coin but if all else were equal including price, I would go for PCGS.

Don't care about which TPG brings the most when up for a resale, or which TPG grades the most accurately. Heck, I'd buy a coin in a SGS "slab" if I like the coin itself. I'd buy the slab that has the most attractive coin. |

I have sent 12 coins in that I purchased raw for grading.
All to ANACS and I have not problem with the grades and enjoy them.
However I will admit that when I was shopping for my Oregon Trail half and Texas half I was presented with a PGCS, a NGC, and an ANACS for each and I walked away with a PCGS and a NGC.
I guess I have a double standard when it comes to buying vs selling (or owning) but I have no intention of selling any of the ones I sent in.

Would you have passed on the ANACS slabs even if you thought they had the better coins in them?

If I buy a coin already slabbed I have a slight preference for PCGS. But if I'm getting raw coins slabbed I use NGC because I'm an ANA member and don't have to join NGC. |

I think that the PCGS slabs look the best and that they do the best grading. I think that if I had the choice on buying the same coin from either, I would buy the PCGS

I also think that PCGS coins have more resale value than the same coins graded by different companies. If you are getting coins slabbed with the intent to sell them, I would go with PCGS

When I picked up my San Diego at the ANA show last week the dealer had and OGH PCGS MS63 for $85 and a newer PCGS MS64 which we settled on $95 after the fact. I REALLY REALLY wanted an OGH but that coin was hammered compared to the 64. I think if an ANACS coin was better than a PCGS or NGC coin at the same table and I could compare them side by side I would definitely choose the better coin regardless of the holder or grade on it if priced accordingly.  |

PCGS for raw US, NGC for GSA and Redfields, and world coins. ANACS for nothing.

I buy the coin I like best, then bring it home, break it out of the holder and into the Dansco it goes.
