Pardon the interruption, but could any of you tell me anything about ANI slabs? I'm looking at this one currently on eBay and laughing at the overgrade.

 

$535

 

Im curious myself, i had a 2 peso gold in of those. It sorta looks old (?)

I don't think the toning brought much premium. It's not vibrant at all. Rather ordinary. That being said, the doily and Gold CAC would make many drool.

I'm going to guess $275.

I've got no clue, so how about $300. Maybe you had a seller as clueless as I.

 

@Marshall and @heavycam.monstervam from what I have seen, ANI is on par with the self-slabbers. I did find this tidbit online:

ANI - American Numismatic Institute - The American Numismatic Institute states it was over 100 years combine grading experience. Each coin is graded fairly using the consensus method to ensure the highest quality service.

• started business in: 2005
  
  
• holder size: normal
  
  
• no longer in business
  

NOTE: ANI and UNC appear to be the same company. Same mailing address, same statement, and same president. The only difference between the two is the holder and their phone numbers.

Looks like @Beefer518 takes this round. It sold on Great Collections for $798.60.

@Beefer518 you're up...

 

WRT ANI,

• Yeah, junk
• They had a website from 2006-2008 but it never made it out of "under construction"
• I haven't found the barcode to be readable

The part that confuses me the most is why so many have numbers in green perm marker on the reverse.

A lot of old coin slabber websites popped back up in the 2013 to now timeframe hosting shopping referrals and what appears to be other less savory content. Likely found out there were live links from live pages (I dislike Coin Auction Help - I get tired of the red print blather on each page swamping 2 lines of semi-useful info - prefer the All Certified Coins.COM version).

Oh, yeah - their submission form is here: https://web.archive.org/web/20070729011328/http://www.anicoins.com/submissionform.pdf, which has a Madison MS address.
