I have a strange feeling that the label isn't wrong. I've been hearing stories about twisting the new ANACS slabs with your bare hands to pop them open. Maybe he's showing us that he replaced the coin???
Here is a Good Example! I agree with GDJMSP. I think this is a SMS and not a business strike and sent it back to the service for re-evaluation. The terminology does not match. Stuff happens. Don't shoot this reverend ANACS service just yet. I am going through a business move also and it is not easy, but necessary for the future.
It may be just me but I think the ability to trust the big TPGs is slowly eroding. I have heard a few horror stories about PCGS in the past, and now I am hearing more of the horror stories concerning ANACS. The one and only real dealer we have in my town is leary of the newer ANACS slabs. He has no problems in dealign with the older ones, but the way he treats the new slabs is the same way he treats any second or third tier TPG ( ICC, UGS, SGS<not lol>) I guess it is the human factor as long as humans are used mistakes willbe made. Now is the time for the machines of the world to unite lol
You might be correct, that's why I posted my first response. But this is an example of what I was talking about -
Don't think for a minute that PCGS hasn't made the same mistake, they have. That's just one I happen to have a pic of.
I understand and completely agree. I had two Morgan dollars in PCGS holders with the wrong dates on the labels. They were common dates and graded MS63. I actually bought the holder and not the coin! There's just something about Charlie32's phrase "tamper evident". Maybe I'm just overly suspicious. Hopefully he can give more details to clarify.
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. Charlie
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 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.
