The upper tier companies seem to be PCGS, NGC, and Anacs, respectively. Would you expect to pay considerably less e.g., ICG, PGA.....etc.?
Would you be hesitant to resubmit to PCGS or NGC, or go with what you got.
Hoping for some schooling here.
Thanks for looking here.

First off,buy the coin not the holder...always.
Basement slabbers almost always grade wrong, usually too high.
If you buy a none TPG coin and "you" grade it higher than it might be a candite to re-slab and one of the three trusted TPGs.

I would say the market considers the top tier to be PCGS, NGC. Teir 2 would be ANACS, ICG.

That said, I go by the coin. I have ANACS and ICG graded coins that I feel are either undegraded or would cross at the same grade, however, I don't feel the need to waste the money doing that. Registry sets are not my thing.

As others have said, buy the coin not the holder. This is wise advice regardless of the slab. Even the PCGS and NGC can be debatable or straight up wrong sometimes. Its all subjective.

When it comes to the "other slabs", my advice is to value the coin as raw in the grade / condition that YOU believe it to be. That might require some self education, and that is always a great thing.

Disclaimer: for my own submissions, I am content with an ANACS special and I agree with their opinion maybe 75% of the time.

What others above said. Buy the coin and not the holder. Most coins graded by Anacs and ICG are accurately graded. What you have to be careful is with other graders not the above, those ms70 coins many times are not ms70.
