Quote: ICG is known for over grading coins all the time.
In my experience ICG has the biggest "problem" with assigning top grades like 69 and 70 on modern coins. They seem too easily impressed at the high end on these. For older coins like Walkers I expect they would be pretty fair. Back when PCGS accepted ICG coins for crossover grading I had positive results for a number of classic coins in grades ranging from VF-35 to MS-64. I think there are a lot of solidly-graded coins like this floating around in ICG plastic.
I agree about looking for a MS64 slabbed for a similar price. Dont get me wrong that looks like a good strike and as long as the price stays low its a good value, but $55+ is too much for a MS63 in such a common walker date imo.
I like buying classics in ICG holders. Some people only like PCGS and NGC and avoid all other holders. But I find ICG accurate graders and I will take the lower price, I crack the coins out anyway.
