Poll Question
This poll has probably been done a million times, but I can't find one, and would like to know the experts' opinions... So here is the most obvious question...What is the best/your favorite TPG? (and why)

I picked SGS. At least with them you KNOW you're going to get Crap-in-a-Can; the others make you work. I looked at the SGS choice as if to saythere's no way to have a favorite in the current system.

I like PCGS for their holders. I like ANACS for their cost of submitting. I occasionally submit problem coins and there is no way I am giving PCGS $100 to grade my problem coins.

HABIB I only voted for PCGS because their slabs seem more liquid on the market. However, I think NGC does just as well a job at grading, and ANACS is often acceptable too. |

You mean SGS? A VF30 coin in a MS70 holder!

For me, the question is kind of like asking an ailurophobe what kind of cat they like best.

I have not been impressed
with what any of them do with "foreign" coins
thus I choose other.

I chose other. None of the TPG's impress me any. |

I chose other, but I think there should be an option for raw coins.

I generally don't like TPGs but the sad truth is that in todays market a slab means more money when you want to sell. For instance A raw corroded 1864 Small motto 2 Cent will always go for between 40 and 50% less than one in an ANACS slab I know from personal experience selling these, and not just 1 coin. Even taking into account the cost of grading its better for me to slab my problem Keys than not.
