<p>[QUOTE="fusiafinch, post: 1454870, member: 18382"]I think ANACS does just as good as PCGS and NGC. But there's a marketing bias. The exact same coin would sell for the most money in a PCGS holder, somewhat less in an NGC holder, and the least in an ANACS holder. But in my experience, the coins in these holders looks exactly the same. In fact, there are some NGC guidelines that are stricter than PCGS, and ANACS grades many more variety and problem coins. But there's a market bias towards PCGS, not because they are the best necessarily, but they are associated the most with dealers.</p><p><br /></p><p>But there's opportunity in this situation too. You can buy ANACS coins for less than PCGS coins even though the coin is graded accurately. If you can assess the coin yourself and confirm that, then you get a bargain. Then when it comes time to sell, you can see if you were right by crossing it over to PCGS and sell it with the additional market bias premium.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
