JeffsCoins New Member United States 9 Posts	Posted 08/21/2009 5:11 pm I've got a Peace dollar graded MS63 in an ICG slab. But is ICG a reliable TPG? Report this Post to the Staff

Bilbo Pillar of the Community United States 812 Posts	Posted 08/21/2009 5:28 pm For a classic coin like this in a lower MS grade, I'd bet they graded it the same as, or at least within a point of, what any of the bigger TGPs would grade it. However, they do not have the reputation or the PR budget of the big two (PCGS & NGC) and have not been around as long as #3 (ANACS). So, it probably is graded correctly, but will probably not bring the same price. Good if you are buying, less good if you are selling. Report this Post to the Staff
SeatedNut Pillar of the Community United States 2797 Posts	Posted 08/25/2009 3:18 pm ICG does a decent job except on moderns (too many MS70 coins). I go out of my way to look closely at ICG slabs for Morgans, Peace, Merc dimes, and other U.S. silver. There are some undergraded coins in those slabs. I haven't seen one yet that was overgraded by more than a point and have found several that were undergraded. Report this Post to the Staff
artdio Pillar of the Community 1844 Posts	Posted 08/31/2009 7:32 pm Yes, but just not as big as the top 3.. I purchased a few Canadian coins graded by them and sent them for cross grading and low and behold out of 10 coins only 1 graded 1 point lower Report this Post to the Staff
