The problem with such a poll is that so many really go by popularity. By that I mean almost any coin show, coin store, etc. all you usually hear is things like "Of course it cost more, it's in a PCGS slab". This sort of statement makes them a lot more popular so naturally many would say them. Almost as popular is NGC so again, same thing. This makes this poll a popularity poll in a way.

I'm partial to ANACS myself. Heaven help the fellow who voted for NNC, unless he's an expert cherrypicker.

SGS because every coin can be MS70!

Seriously, ANACS for value, PCGS for holder. I loved the old little ANACS holders. Don't care for the current one.

"My collection only consists of RAW coins."

The only value I see in using a TPG is to have a another opinion on authenticity.
