I just got this coin off of Ebay. It is a Delaware quarter that was graded PR-70! Here it is... 1999 s Delaware NGC PF70 Ultra Cameo Clad Proof Quarter Coin | eBay

NGC vs. PCGS: How Far Apart Are Their Grades? | eBay

I generally do not trust MS70. Throw in it is NGC? "perfect" is a VERY high standard.

I only buy PCGS graded coins. However, that is still a nice coin you have there coinsareaweseme!

It is actually graded PF-70, which is the highest grade proof coin that you can get, or as close to perfect a coin can get, and it is graded by NGC.

According to PCGS United States Coin Price Guide, that particular coin that I purchased is worth around $170. (I know... I used the grading company opposite of the one that I purchased! Blasphemous!) http://www.pcgs.com/prices/priceguidedetail.aspx?ms=1&pr=1&sp=1&c=720&title=washington+50+states+quarters

You are using a PCGS guide to buy NGC coins? There can be a HUGE disparity between the 2 companies. If you look at sold listings for your coin you will see they are going for between $27-$40 over the past few months. Price guides, redbooks, grey sheets etc mean NOTHING when real time market conditions say otherwise!

The OP's ebay link shows that he paid $30 for the coin. Well, it is worth about $30.

I prefer PCGS coins, mainly because I love their set registry program. But it's important to buy the coin, not the holder. I've seen stunning coins and ugly coins stabbed by both companies. I think the market in general prefers PCGS, as these tend to sell for a bit more. I think NGC overgrades Buffalo nickels, but does pretty well with Morgan dollars.

One of the coolest coins I've ever seen is in an NGC holder, and I think it would cross easily to PCGS... Would love to own her!

I think this coin is the PERFECT example of why you stay away from NGC Coins. There is a huge flaw in the frost between the eye and the hair. It could just be a polishing flaw, but it is big enough to knock it out of MS69 money. If I was selling that coin, I would love to have it slabbed at 69... but its just not there.
