How does PCGS compare to PMG?

[BRIAN339]

I am sure this question can be looked upon in many ways. What is your honest comparison speaking from experience???

PMG is the best !!!!

I only have 1 PCGS note, so I can't say much for the grading quality, but I can say that I really don't like their holder.

They both have their faults: Here are a couple of examples of PMG:Note the mis-labeled denominations and they missed that the lazy 2 was a restoration

I gave 6 notes to PCDA 2 months ago at Central States. They are still sitting on them.I don't have any problem with either of their holders

I prefer PMG for a number of reasons.

Most collectors lean one way or another, and there are some collectors that collect currency in BOTH holders. I've seen mistakes made by BOTH TPG's, but by and large they do great job. This is not a MATH exam, where there is only one correct answer. Grading currency, coins, comic books, etc is very subjective and complicated by containing the human element. I have heard some complaints about the tint in a PMG holder, and there's probably a reason behind that.
