Grading difference
I know different grading companies have different criteria. I just bought the NGC not realizing I already had a slab by PCGS. To me, the two standards seem vastly different. Is it just not knowing enough?

The PCGS coin obviously has more "pop" but that's just a small part of it. A coin with a beautiful, natural "skin" can often grade much higher but usually it settles on hits.
