I personally think that anacs undergrades and pcgs and ngc are close but ngc grades higher then pcgs. So does this mean that pcgs grades the most accurate? I have always thought that ANACS was right up there with the rest and since I have started to collect world coins have noticed the difference in the top three graders. Does this reflect how they grade with us coins also and is that what brings the premiums higher for NGC and PCGS because they arent known to undergrade coins as much? ICG is the best new grading company and should be in the number 4 spot.

Be the One asked:


I have inherited several foreign coins from my grandmother who passed away recently - I don’t care about the value. They all have sentimental value since the ones I received were collected by her service during WWII in Europe. I have one here that is about the size of an American half dollar, but I am pretty sure it is from England. Information from it is as follows:
on the front: georgivs v dei gra: britt: omn: rex
front: a man who is facing left
on the back: half crown fid, def, ind, imp, 1932
back: a coat of arms it seems, two crowns, and two pairs of interwined letters

I would like to know more about this coin - what the words mean, any significance, whose coat of arms, and who the guy is (geoge v?)? Also possibly current day value in the chance that I need to insure it or keep it in my safety deposit box… Thanks! Any info would be helpful. Please cite your sources.
