<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cloudsweeper99, post: 126086, member: 3011&quot;]I greatly appreciate the service provided by the major grading companies.&nbsp; It is enormously beneficial to someone like me to be able to buy a coin that has been examined by a team of experts who have determined that it is authentic, not harshly cleaned or damaged, is roughly a high, middle, or low condition uncirculated coin, and is sealed in a tamper-proof holder that also protects the coin.&nbsp; The people trying to make a clear distinction between an MS65 and MS66 because a couple of thousand dollars of value is riding on the difference are playing a different game and looking for assurances that may not be possible.&nbsp; I don&#039;t get involved with coins where the conditional rarity between one grade and the next is so great that it has a large impact on the price.&nbsp; That would terrify me.</p><p><br /></p><p>But with that said, the above comments lead me to believe that it is safest to avoid ANACS coins in the new holders.&nbsp; From a business standpoint, they probably should redesign them again so collectors can make a distinction between the new flawed design and the corrected design.&nbsp; Fixing the problem without providing a way to identify the holders that were not tamper-proof is no fix at all.&nbsp; I believe I own more coins in old ANACS holders than any other TPG.&nbsp; I won&#039;t be buying any coins in the new holders.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
