I have not seen the type of market grading you find at PCGS or NGC with Anacs but I have also seen only a small number of higher end color toners...
Here is a new thread and a new chance to guess the grade on a newly acquired coin. I tried to use "new" as sparingly as possible and hopefully add...
A very nice example that has plenty of character! And a great tie-in to your experience as well!
Same here....although I could give a ddddd sticker of approval at that grade if that makes @mrweaseluv any happier :D
For now Trade Dollars are still the only chopped coins that PCGS will straight grade (not so with other world coins that have chops). I don't...

I've seen multi coin 2x2 flips a few times but it is certainly not too common. Three items of the same date from three different mints does make...
Anything you overpaid for is hard to sell. :D (I know as I've been there:() In general, I have noticed it is the same items as some people...
Altered surfaces is one thing NGC won't slab (I don't get it since PCGS and Anacs do slab these but NGC has their ways).
