[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 737925, member: 112"]Happened literally overnight. The old ANACS had some of the toughest grading standards there were on some coins. Easy, the slab itself. The old ones were very small with solid white inserts like NGC uses. The new ones are roughly the same size as other slabs and clear like PCGS and ICG uses. The difference is day and night. Grading standards at the new ANACS are much more lax than they used to be. Good luck with that. It is estimated that fully 80% or more of all older coins have been dipped at some point. If a silver coin is blast white - it's been dipped. If you want undipped coins, then you have to buy coins that have what they call original skin. This means that you only buy toned coins. And even some of them will be coins that were dipped and have re-toned afterwards.[/QUOTE]
