<p>[QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 1473282, member: 36230"]Worthless? Absolutely not as there are excellent coins residing in both new and old ANACS plastic. I've often felt that the view of ANACS being a bottom feeder comes more from certain people simply repeating what they hear as opposed to having an experienced opinion. Yes.. standards went to pot and there are lots of head-shakers in ANACS holders, but there are properly (and even undergraded) coins in their holders too. The fact and problem is that many coins in new-ANACS plastic are leniently graded and is an example of bad apples spoiling the bunch. There are many who automatically dismiss ANACS and this can be used to your benefit if you know what you're doing. Old ANACS is generally better than new, but as with any TPG, there is both good and bad. Just because you have a few old holders, this does not mean they will cross - all depends on the coin inside.</p><p><br /></p><p>Many like the old holders, so unless something that really should reside in top TPG plastic, you might as well leave them as-is.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
