Anacs 2 free coin gradings

I got a offer today for free grading for 2 coins at anacs. Sadly, even with free grading I cant seem to pull the trigger. I just dont think its worth it.

Why?

 

How did you get the offer? Have you used them before?

 

I'm not sure. I just dont see the point, I guess.

 

No, I just registered with their website a year ago. Im a Anacs insider or something like that.

 

I suppose anyone can take advantage of the coupon. It is a generic coupon code




Summer is a great time of year and a great time to be an ANACS Insider. Submit up to two coins on our 15 Day service and ANACS will certify them for free. That's free grading, free authentication, and free encapsulation - No strings attached. Just pay for return shipping and you're done!

Here are the Details & Limitations:

15-day service and $2000 max. value per coin. U.S. minted coins only. Other services (Attribution, Conservation, Imaging, etc.) are optional and available for an additional fee. Submissions must be postmarked by Saturday, July 5th. Use Promo Code: Insider Summer Giveaway.

 

how do you apply this promo code?

 

maybe on their submission form

 

on second thought I believe you are right. I find that NTC grades much better than ANACS and they are basically an unknown in the industry.

 

Like it or not, ANACS has both a place and purpose, even if only for certain varieties that the top two won't label.

 

What?? You don't think it's worth it? Stop and smell the roses every once in a while--free is free and you might like grade that comes back on the coin you send in----no matter what a good deal is a good deal--

 

I think im going to do it. But I have reasons.
It would be my first time grading coin(s) so it would be a good trial run.
I only have to pay shipping so if the coin grades stink no big deal
I could always crack them out of the slab if I want to get it graded by a better service
But idk what I would choose... you guys will help me
I have a high grade 1959 cent
" " 1959 half
" " 1964 half
" " 1944 S Merc Dim
" " 2009 ddr cent (the one where he is reading the book)
" " 1949 booker t Washington half

 

I think I might send in some error coins to see what happens.

I thought the 1972 "no FG" Kennedy halves were worthless. Then I was using Geekpryde's "Master List of Dealers" looking for something else and saw someone asking $299 for one of them...?

Why is that? Is ANACS sub-par or are you just against grading and encapsulation? I am new to graded coins, which is all I buy now.

 

Def, the Booker Half first!

 

Thanks for the info. I knew that ICG and ANACS were not the same caliber. I recently purchased two VAM Morgans graded MS-63 each by ANACS. When I set them side by side and looked with my loop, the MS-63 grade on one of them did not seem consistent with the better of the two. I immediately thought "this is what they mean when they say that ANACS is not the same quality as PCGS." Even as a novice grader, that coin didn't look like a 63...

 

...Either way, I am going to get my two complimentary gradings if possible.

 

I'd still use ANACS for authentication . I might send them a Trade dollar I bought raw and a really nice '14-D 1/4 eagle also bought raw
when I resumed collecting about 30 years ago .
