The main difference between the two is that PCGS is slightly older than NGC, having been in business since 1985, while NGC has been around since 1987. While both companies utilize the Sheldon Scale, they do utilize different coin designations in some cases. Ultimately, both companies provide ...
What I find more often than not is that if NGC has a lower value listed for a coin they also have a markedly higher population level graded in a NGC slab at that particular grade. Then if you look at PCGS and you see a huge difference you might find that the population of coins gra...
NCG seems to command a market price close to PCGS. Many video clips from people that have cracked the case and sent the same coins to all graders find little difference in NCG and PCGS grades. But sellers perfer the prices paid for PCGS coins. I guess there is perceived market value in...
The only difference is that it has nearly imperceptible flaws such as a flashy strikethrough or a small, unobtrusive milk spot. What Are PCGS Graded Silver Eagles? In 1985, a small group of leading rare coin experts recognized a need for the rare coin industry to have a universal standard ...

Seeing how most collectors cant afford a MS65 1924-S Peace $ from either grading service and many buy a nice MS64 example instead - is there still a 30% price difference in MS64 between NGC and PCGS ? What does the auction results show for MS64 coins ? - Im going to guess no. ...
What is the difference between the two? Or is it just a difference in terminology between PCGS and NGC for the same thing? Thanks MunkyMan95 Mentor Member: Seasoned Veteran 8,120 posts Joined: February 28, 2006 Location: Electric Avenue Posted November 9, 2006 Difference in terminology....
On the other denominations, the 2R is somewhat scarcer than the 1R and 1/2 R but not by much. I have a 1771 NGC MS-62, 1770 PCGS AU-58 and 1765 NGC XF-45 2R. The only other dates I have seen graded are the 1754 (NGC AU-53), 1761 (several times) and the 1758 (an NGC...
