Maaku New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 07/26/2006 08:15 am I am familiar with SGS coin grading being questionable, what is the consensus of opinion on PCGS and ICG Coin Grading Services? Thanx MJ Report this Post to the Staff

TLS5933 Pillar of the Community United States 1703 Posts	Posted 07/26/2006 08:43 am PCGS & ICG are both reptable grading services. My opinion,PCGS being the better of the two. Welcome to the CC Forums. Report this Post to the Staff

SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 07/26/2006 4:33 pm There are 4 grading services: PCGS, NGC, ANACS, and ICG. The others are companies which enclose your coins in plastic and put a grade on that plastic, a grade which is correct about as often and for the same reason as a broken clock is correct: twice a day. As of right now, PCGS-slabbed coins bring more at market than the others in almost every category, except the real rarities whose quality outshines the slab. Report this Post to the Staff

fengk Pillar of the Community United States 986 Posts	Posted 07/27/2006 11:39 am I'd never heard of ICGS before. Thanks for the heads up so I know not to skim over their coins. Report this Post to the Staff

Buffaloboy5 Pillar of the Community United States 604 Posts	Posted 07/27/2006 2:29 pm I buy from ICG since most people ignore them because not much collectors pay much attention to other grading services and just wish to buy PCG OR ANAC OR NGC because they advertise more then ICG does in magazines and if you want proof buy some "Coin" magazines Report this Post to the Staff
