Message:: [QUOTE="Morgandude11, post: 1454581, member: 37839"]ANACS is a totally bona fide Third Party Grader.  There are some lovely and desirable coins in ANACS holders, and I have owned quite a number of them over the years.  They are not considered on a par with the top two biggies--PCGS, and NGC by MOST collectors.  However, they do a good job most of the time, and IMHO, do a great job in identifying problem coins without body bagging all of them.  Resale is another matter--ANACS coins tend to sell at lower prices than PCGS and NGC coins.  If you intend to keep your coins forever, or don't intend to sell/trade them frequently, you can find many beautiful and desirable coins from slabbed by them at good prices (usually a fair degree lower than the "big two").  I'd not avoid ANACS coins, if the coin happens to be a desirable one, and it appeals to you.  The name of the game is being happy with your purchases.  That having been said, I do prefer PCGS coins in terms of holding their value and appreciating.  THERE IS NOTHING WRONG with ANACS, and that should be said and repeated, as they have been doing it for a long time, and get it right most of the time. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />  Just my opinion.  <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]
