<p>[QUOTE=&quot;900fine, post: 147661, member: 6036&quot;]Hey guys,</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I saw a thread here about a guy having <b>problems with the new ANACS slabs</b>... an e-bay buyer felt it had been tampered with. Others posted up and concurred; one post was concerned that <b>ANACS might command &quot;second teir&quot; pricing</b>.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Anyway, I hit the CDN Greysheet. They list a trade-marked &quot;Certified Coin Market Indicator&quot;, which compares &quot;sight-seen&quot; prices vs.&nbsp; &quot;sight-unseen&quot; prices. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I suppose the idea is that&nbsp; &quot;sight-seen&quot; prices are the standard, since the buyer can carefully inspect the piece in question before purchase.&nbsp; &quot;Sight-unseen&quot; deals (i.e. anything on the Internet would command somewhat lower prices. (?)</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Further, one can assume the price discount would be LESS for the best grading service, indicating widespread buyer confidence in that TPG.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Well, here&#039;s what CDN openly publishes as the &quot;Sight-unseen&quot; prices (broken by TPG) :</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><b><font face="Helvetica"><span style="color: black">PCGS: 84.97% </span></font></b></p><p><b><font face="Helvetica"><span style="color: black">NGC: 78.08% </span></font></b></p><p><b><font face="Helvetica"><span style="color: black">ANACS: 54.45% </span></font></b></p><p><b><font face="Helvetica"><span style="color: black">ICG: 80.11% </span></font></b></p><p><b><font face="Helvetica"><span style="color: black">PCI: 48.77% </span></font></b></p><p><b><font face="Helvetica"><span style="color: black">SEGS: 47.57% </span></font></b></p><p><b><font face="Helvetica"><span style="color: black">NCI: 38.26% </span></font></b></p><p><b><font face="Helvetica"><span style="color: black">INS: 27.40%</span></font></b></p><p><br /></p><p><font face="Helvetica">This would place PCGS in 1st place, ICG 2nd and NGC 3rd - all closely matched in the top tier.</font></p><p><br /></p><p><font face="Helvetica">ANACS comes in a distant 4th - leading the 2nd tier. Personally, I like ANACS.</font></p><p><br /></p><p><font face="Helvetica">Any thoughts on this ?</font></p><p><br /></p><p><font face="Helvetica">I ALWAYS value the input / dialogues on this site. Great venue. Thanks, everybody.</font>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
