What are the top grading services and is there a distinct difference in their grading standards?
The top services are PCGS, NGC, ICG, and ANACS. Generally, there is little difference in their grading standards. Collectors sometimes favor one or two over the others, based on personal preference. The general guideline to purchasing coins is to pay more attention to the coin than the holder. The strike and sharpness of detail, amount of wear, scratches, brilliance, toning, contact marks on the surface and rim are all major point to consider. At Goldcoast Coins, we examine each and every coin, and make sure it passes our ultra strict standards.
