Must admit I'm quite surprised to hear this. This would the first confirmed case of such an event I have ever heard of - with any of the top TPG's.

Have you told ANACS about it ? And if so what was their response ? Because if you haven't I'm going to.

Nope, I haven't talked with ANACS yet. I am going to take it and a few other coins to the CSNS show and see what ANACS has to say.

Was this the only slab you were able to do whatever you did - and no I don't want you to say what that was here - or did you even try ?

I just tried it with the shield nickel slab, because I am going to send the nickel to NGC.

Would it be able to fool a collector or are there any signs of replacement?

If you looked at the edge closely, you could tell that it had been opened.

I will never use ANACS ever again. They have now had my package 7 business days, and my fiance today was told that it would probably be about 4 days before they even get to the 5 day packages. I will never use these people ever again, and in fact I hope PCGS and NGC put them out of business.

Would PCGS or NGC have been any better? Just curious, because it sounds like they all take their own sweet time even when they say it'll be fast turnaround. Are they offering to make up for the delay in any way? Seems to me they should.

SGS, ICC, NTC, anyplace would have been better I am sure. I would rather send my coins to SGS at this point than ANACS.

Part of the reason I am annoyed, is they have a coin that is worth between 2-3k, and I have to move to California, and need to sell it with some other stuff in order to move.

I am curious as to why were they sent to ANACS instead of PCGS or NGC to begin with?

I doubt PCGS or NGC will put them out of business since their customer service leaves a lot to be desired also at times. I personally have always received better service with ANACS.

Ahem* Guess who just got hired at PCGS?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I flew out for my interview yesterday, and was hired for the apprentice grading position. I'll be moving to California and starting work in June!



Looks like you will get a chance to make that so!

My fiance sent the coins in, because she thought it would be better to go with cheaper service. I had to remind her that I am hired at PCGS, and she should be using them.

Update: I talked to James Taylor today and he said that he knew about how easy it was to open the new holders, and that it had been fixed.
