Okay, this is embarassing, because I've been a coin collector for quite a while, off and on, but have primarily collected raw coins. I do have a few slabbed coins and just got my first "batch" back from ANACS. It was then that I realized something.......how do you say "ANACS"? I mean, do you pronounce it as if it were a word, not an acronym? Or do you refer to it by saying the initials: A-N-A-C-S? Boy, this sure seems like a dumb question. You'd think I'd have heard someone somewhere, at a coin show or shop, say it before. --- Just realized I probably posted this in the wrong forum. Sorry!
I've always heard it pronounced "An-Ax," as if AN was a syllable and ACS was a syllable in a 2 syllable word.
Well I always said A-Nax but when I talked with them a year or so ago they answered the phone as AN-AX so I hate to make myself go with AN-AX ever since. If you doubt me, give them a call like I did. Still hard not to say A-NAX without giving it some thought before my mouth works.
There are no dumb questions, but this one sure is hilarious! Definitely not what I expected from a thread called "Question about ANACS"!!! ~AJ
I pronounce it that way but the ANACS guy at FUN pronounced it Annex. EDIT: Wow. I didn't realize this was a 5 year old thread.
