What's the most valuable coin you own in an ANACS holder?

In my own case, probably a tie. Both worth about $1050 or there abouts. The 20 Franga in particular looks MS66 or better to me, the surfaces almost look like they are liquid, it's that nice!

I have some Roosevelt dimes in old ANACS slabs, including some varieties.
I don't think that any of my ANACS graded coins are worth more than $30-$50 at best.

 

Going to have to go with my MS-67 war nickel... I know, nothing too crazy but, hey, I think it's quite a coin

Do you agree with the grade?

 

I have a common date Walker Half with some light color. Worth around $120. Bought it because it looked nice.
Ive bought many bust halves in the small white ANACS holders that have crossed at the same grade at PCGS. Many very nice coins in the old holders, but I have a feeling many have already been cracked out or attempted to be crossed.

I once spoke to someone at Heritage about a lot that was in an ANACS holder. He said they consider it a problem coin because its in an ANACS holder!

 

Imagine you are a coin dealer. Someone walks in with a collection of 100 coins in various holders, all of them NGC fatty, PCGS OGH or ANACS LWH (little white holder). A third of the coins in each type of holder. Another customer walks in with the same collection (different specimens) with each coin in exactly the same grade as the first collection. The only difference is that the second collection are all in new PCGS or NGC holders, none in ANACS holders. Which collection would you as a dealer consider to be more valuable? If the price were the same and I could only buy one set, no question I would go for the first collection even if it meant buying them sight unseen.

 

I don't own any coins

 

I hope you realize that this is a question that 99% of us would never answer truthfully. It is proprietary and never talked about - thus the answers so far!

Hard to say, both of my ANACS coins are MS65 common date Morgan Dollars with nice toning.

One in a small white old holder that I bought in 2002 in a Heritage auction:

1886 Morgan Dollar ANACS MS65 Heritage April 2002 CSNS Sale $448.50





The other is in a newer blue label holder purchased in 2007

1899-O Morgan Dollar ANACS MS65 Heritage May 2007 $362.25





Personally, I love the 1886 and it was one of the first rainbow toned coins that I ever purchased and has sentimental value. Additionally, everyone I show it to hates the coin because of the large toning breaks. The second coin is very interesting. Perhaps it is a coincidence, but this is the only toned coin that I have ever owned that has turned appreciably in it's holder. When I purchased it, the toning was all bright orange. Now, as you can see from the photo, it has progressed to a mixture of a darker orange and shades of army green and violet. I bought the coin because I thought it was PQ for the grade and I still think it is high end for the grade.

I guess I should put these up on the block while I still can.

 

I don't keep up with values, but i have a few coins in the white anacs slabs

1877 AU details Net EF45 Trade $1
1960-D MS64 RD Large Date 1 cent
1957 MS63 RB 1 cent
1962 PR66 Cam quarter
1938 s/s/s MS65 Rd 1 cent
1853 AU details net VF30 cleaned 3 cent

Just stuff i have gotten at auctions that were in groups with other coins I really wanted.

 

I would have preferred Proof 58 rather than Proof 60 cleaned. I think the hairlines are from brief
circulation rather than cleaning. JP Martin said the could take another look and see if he agreed
with me I sent it back in but it really wouldn't impact the market value much either way.

What I like about ANACS is that JP will explain any questions about why a coin is graded a certain
way. PCGS and NGC are much more closed. I think PCGS once offered an "explanation" for a $25
additional fee.

 

Absolutely agree. And I would pay MOST if ALL of the first group were in the old ANA-owned ANACS white slabs with the magic lantern gold hologram.

I wish I still had the clipping from Coin World that was at my old shop, from about 1985 -- just before PCGS and NGC started. The big
dealers were protesting ANACS grading as too strict...killing our profits...can't feed my family...out of touch with reality.

Soon PCGS and NGC appeared with their "market grading" concept where coins with rub could be graded Mint State because they could be sold at Mint State prices. PCGS even admits such in their book!

 

Educate me. What's the difference between an ANACS holder with a blue label and one with a gold label like this one?

 

A 1906 MS-63 Barber Quarter , which me and others think is a 65 .

 

When ANACS changed their holder, the original slab insert was blue. A few years later, they changed to the mustard label.

 

I see, and were gold holders used both by the current owners and the previous owners?
