<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Victor, post: 1815708, member: 5454&quot;]Doug,</p><p>&nbsp;I respect your opinion and that of others.&nbsp; It has been a few years since I submitted anything and my concern is not for resale.&nbsp; If I purchase a slabbed coin [rarely] it is usually PCGS or NGC. The last purchase was a PCGS 1896-O Barber dime in G-4 from Bozarth.</p><p>Years ago I bought a couple of estates. Much of it was raw and raw pre-1933 gold.</p><p>My main concern was authenticity, not value or resale. As I paid quite a bit less than retail for these coins, I just wanted to know they were authentic.&nbsp; All came back from ANACS as authentic. I must say I have not learned to like the new yellow holders.</p><p>That said, one of the primary reasons for my continued support of ANACS is due to the rep at the small show I attend.&nbsp; He will look at anything even knowing I&#039;m not submitting.</p><p>I teach a coin collecting class at a local adult education facility. Some of the students bring in coins to the show and I introduce the student to the ANACS rep.&nbsp; He looks at the coins and offers an opinion.&nbsp; It is because of this personal service that I support ANACS.&nbsp; No other TPG has a rep at these shows.&nbsp; If they did I may have an altered agenda.</p><p>Because ANACS has such a discredited reputation, I must continue to mention their strongpoints.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
