Ive noticed that coins that share the same grade but graded by different grading services often have different prices. Why is that?
That’s a very complicated question. Generally the prices of these coins is determined by supply & demand and the population at the different grading services. PCGS tends to grade very few MS and Proof 70’s while NGC hits that mark more often. Hence the price difference. We price our coins based on cost and what we believe to be fair market value. In many series and grades these prices are the same. But the PCGS Registry has also skewed the prices of PCGS coins in the highest grades as collectors complete for the ultimate PCGS-graded sets.
