busthalf Pillar of the Community United States 1304 Posts	Posted 12/20/2009 6:16 pm When I began my certified type set I was only collecting NGC and PCGS graded coins. But I have found that this will only take you so far. I try to stay in the $250.00 to $400.00 range but like I said you really can't find the coins that I'm now on in that price range. I'm considering going to ANANS and ICG to continue with my collection. I would really like your thoughts on these gradings services. Report this Post to the Staff

ICG is legit also but (arguably) tend to be a touch more liberal than the top tier services. I've owned coins certified by all four of the top companies. The important point to remember is: Buy the coin, not the slab. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 01/07/2010 12:36 am I think ICG is fine for the classics but they do tend to be a bit liberal on more modern high grade MS stuff. Plenty of good coins in ANACS and ICG plastic. Report this Post to the Staff
Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 01/07/2010 04:00 am I agree with the ICG with classics comment. ICG is very good at grading classic coins, they just don't have a good reputation with moderns. I wouldn't hesitate to purchase a ICG graded classic coin for a type set (as a matter of fact I have) as long as I agree with the grading myself (but the same would apply to PCGS or any other TPG for that matter).
