<p>[QUOTE=&quot;900fine, post: 146015, member: 6036&quot;]One of the big factors : What does the MARKET say ? Is there a difference in PRICE due to which service graded &#039;em ?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If a service has a reputation for strictness, the price of their coins goes UP for a given grade.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If a service has a reputation for overgrading, the price of their coins goes DOWN for a given grade - since their MS64 is really only a MS62-ish.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>According to Coin Dealer Newsletter, there are three top tier services - PCGS, NGC, and ICG. These command top price.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>ANACS is second tier, price-wise.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I&#039;m not PERSONALLY sure about that... just passin&#039; it on.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><b>Personally I deal with ANACS from time to time, and I like &#039;em.</b> Friendly, excellent service.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I live in Austin (ANACS HQ), so it&#039;s a face - to - face, &quot;first name basis&quot; relationship. I use &#039;em for my lower end pieces.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I have always submitted better stuff to PCGS. But I gotta say they seem more &quot;dealer oriented&quot;, such as requiring at least 10 pieces for economy (or modern) service.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I&#039;m a collector. ANACS is more collector-friendly.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
