Got my coins back from ANACS

Just sharing my coins that ANACS graded for me. I have been apart of many discussions about grading companies but still believe they have the best value for third party grading IMO. Anyways to each his own but enjoy the coins.

Like the 1885 best

 

Nice looking coins...horrible looking holders. Nothing against ANACS as a TPG, but those holders are

UGLY!!!

 

You're wrong. Entitled to your opinion. But wrong. The holder is nice - especially the curved top that shows you what the coin is in the box.

 

Lovely coins. The only draw back I see for the ANACS holder is the yellow label.

 

Very nice coins. I personally like their holders, but what is important is that you are happy with them. I think all holders have some pros and cons.

 

It's the coin first then the holder. They complement each other. Thanks for sharing.

 

Like the old pre barcode, especially for Morgans

 

Awesome ending to a horrific crime....

 

Very nice. Love the toning on the Columbian Half.

 

The MS 64 1886 Morgan Dollar, I have one of those questions I have always wanted to ask. I have seen this from all the grading companies. The coin is almost sideways in the slab. Will a grading company accept a free return and correction of placement. I'm sure they would have to do a new slab, and would it keep the same registration number.

I would not purchase a coin slabbed in this manner from a seller. Also if you did a display to observe or photograph to me it would be an eyesore.

 

They probably would reholder it would be my guess. The slab to me is just an authentication by a third party. I have had these coins for over 10 years raw so to me its just piece of mind as to authentication and grade range. The market has changed over the years and many collectors don't buy raw coins period. To me that's sad and let's the grading companies charge redicoulous prices driving many coins way out of reasonable prices.

 

Your decision, but you're paying a ridicoulous price for an inferior service. A lot of people wouldn't buy a coin sideways (practically) for what it should be worth. I'd be on the phone as soon as I opened it. To me customers shouldn't accept this to keep it from getting worse.

 

The 1921-D does not look AU50 to me (undergraded) but maybe it's the reverse? They all make this holdering mistake and I'm sure they'd make it right. None of my 16 coin submission were rotated, although it was interesting to finally get them in slabs properly oriented and see how many actually have marginally rotated dies (all 1940s Canadian). Their conservation service did a wonderful job on a few of them, even turning a PCGS UNC Details (cleaned) coin into an SP62 - it was lacquered and it seems PCGS punted on it. They even gave me their US coin special even though mine were Canadian (not saying you'll get that deal too...). One criticism is that I would not pay for their imaging service again - I can take better pictures with my iphone 6. I like their holders.

 

Nice coins!
I think the Anacs holders are decent and they have some of the best grading specials in terms of cost. I do prefer the small white holders (it would be nice if they could go back to those but I understand it might not be easy).

 

You can rotate the coin back where it should be. You just tap the edge of the slab in the right spot.

 

I paid 13 bucks for grading on a coin that I paid 15 bucks for years ago. You can't by raw culls much cheaper than that now so I don't consider it ridiculous. What I do consider ridiculous is paying the other companies grading fees for the same thing an opinion. I stay within my budget regardless what coin I buy. That's all one can really do in today's market where everyone seems to worry about everything except the coin and enjoying the hobby.

 

The pic is from my phone but the 1921 D has some issues so I was ok with the grade. That's probably the one I shouldn't have sent in but I was hopeful. Lol

 

I like the 1886 the best. The 1885 is nice except for the obverse scratch.

 

I don't think they're too bad. Could be better but could be worse as well!
