Take out the now dead and HORRIBLE PCI and put in DGS. I like DGS a lot, it's legit.

Where is SGS!
Seriously, I love PCGS's holders but not what they have become. Ridiculously overpriced to send your coins to. I like ANACS all around.

I agree with vermontensium, Anacs is still fairly reasonable, with Pcgs you have to join, then deal with their overpriced service. I haven't dealt with DGS yet.

PCGS is the "best" by popular demand, but ANACS provides the best service for your money, and you don't have to pay a subscription fee to send coins to them.

I rather dislike all of them. However, I did vote for PCGS but only due to their standings in the Coin World. So many times I've heard a dealer say "Of course it cost more, it's slabbed by PCGS" I have no slabbed coins at all. Any time I do purchase one, I break out the coin, thow away the plastic. If I were to decide to become a coin sales person, I'd stick to PCGS due to the ease in selling. |

Fortunately we can use these grading services to assure a potential buyer that what they are getting is genuine and has a fair grade. If the coins are mounted on your wall or sitting in a shoebox for your enjoyment there is no need to grade. |

While it's hard to make a blanket statement for all coins and all series, PCGS slabbed coins generally sell for a premium to all the other TPGs.

Personally, I can't stand when people slab coins or buy slabbed coins just to know a coin's grade and if it is genuine, especially if it is a non-key. I always stress to learn and research before buying coins of any kind and to learn how to grade and authenticate to a certain extent before buying any coins.

that what they are getting is genuine and has a fair grade. With counterfeit slabs (containing counterfeit coins) that can be quite convincing, unfortunately neither of these assertions are true. Edited by steve199
