ACGS Unknown grader to me.

Anyone ever hear of this grader ? Should I break it out and resubmit to NGC or PCGS ?

That holder does nothing for it but protect it.
And I wouldn't submit it but it's your coin.

 

Never heard of them and a Google search turns up nothing. Probably a basement slabbing service for a seller. For practical purposes you have a raw coin in a plastic case. Somebody wanted to peddle graded bullion coins and knew a submission to a credible TPG would put him in the hole forever.

 

Its technially the key date business strike ASE but unless it comes back 70 at PCGS or NGC Its not worth the cost of submitting

 

You can buy an MS69 ASE in a PCGS slab for under $70. You don't know that one will cross that high. I'd sell that one and by a pcgs if that's what you're wanting. Actually I'd keep that one and buy the pcgs too. That's just how I do things lol

Keep that one as a conversation piece Dave.......

 

Looks like they took the A from ANACS.

The CGS from PCGS.

And the ANACS logo.

Plus they used the right font style, added a bar code and website to make it look official.

 

Another Crappy Grading Service! The coin looks crappy so it works with the holder!

 

That is one awful looking coin, for sure.

 

It looks like they were trying to start their own grading service (but it likely is the equivalent of a basement grader).
Since the website is no longer active, I would guess they are no longer in business.

Here is the archived page from 2008:

Some "highlights" :

*5 days to grade coins
*$15 per coin fee
*No membership needed to submit coins

 

From the look at this coin you will be lucky to get a grade 69 from either NGC or PCGS or even ICG and Anac. Also this coin carry a little premium so No you should not resubmit it.

 

I will also add that there is little reason to submit this coin for grading (unless you want to use it as an educational tool to test your grading skills). It will most likely be cheaper to buy an already graded PCGS/NGC version.

 

Digging around in that web archive, their only "authorized dealer" was operating out of an antique store in Massachsetts. Two plus two here.

 

...doesn't equal ms69

 

IMO, You own a very unattractive, beat-up piece of silver. IMO, it grades MS-64, and might make 65 on a bad day at a major TPGS. Do not crack it out! Sell it the coin for whatever you can get! Or, find another '96 and give the dealer your coin + cash.

 

Look at the reverse on the shield. Looks like some hits.

 

I appreciate ALL your straight answers. My bad - My loss.

 

...not too bad though my friend...look at it like a inexpensive lesson learned...now imagine how you would feel if that were an AGE in that same shanty town plastic. I wouldn't stress about your situation, live and learn

 

I just got it..........

 

No loss my friend. Interesting holder. You didn't pay too far above 'melt' did ya?
