Thanks

PCGS
http://www.pcgs.com/

PCGS is held in the highest regard by many in the coin collecting community.


NGC is another:

and ANACS is another:

PCGS is the best since their slabbed coins usually go for higher resale values than NGC or ANACS. However, PCGS charge higher grading fees too.

The coin dealers where I go seem to consider PCGS and NGC to be about the same, although I have seen some online coin dealers sell PCGS for a bit higher. I personally buy the coin and not the holder when I get graded gold, although I will only get PCGS or NGC. I have never sent anything to be slabbed.

PCGS fetches more almost across the board... just look at Ebay.

I suppose it matters what you're getting graded, though, as certain companies won't attribute certain errors and whatnot.

BTW, I prefer PCGS... my Morgan date set is going to be PCGS coins.

 

[Hi Ho Silver!]
