NGC Vs PCGS Question

9 times out of 10 though, I'd prefer an AU-58 over an MS-61. They just have generally better eye appeal imho.

The NGC vs. PCGS thing means nothing to me. In this case, I would go for the coin with better eye appeal. If they are both fairly equal, I'd go for the less expensive NGC slabbed Indian.

Great looking coin bherring!

I'd like to point out that I don't recommend purchasing coins as I did with this Eagle. Although in the old days of mail order buying it was done all the time, today we should have good, high-res images of coins we buy online.

This purchase was the only time I have ever bought a coin sight-unseen and when spending $800+ dollars, that is risky. The link I posted earlier (from which I bought this coin) is for buying a PCGS MS61 $10 Indian. You don't know what you're going to get other than the posted info and of course, the assumption it will be a common-date.

With PayPal protection and return privileges, you do have some piece of mind but many 61 are beat up, ugly coins (as johnny54321 noted). This one was not.
