[QUOTE="TheCoinGeezer, post: 1474200, member: 34700"]I concur. The old small slabs are graded as least as well as PCGS/NGC and sometimes even more conservatively. I have several coins in the old style slabs, mostly Roosevelt varieties. The blue slabs are problematic and have to be approached on a case-by-case basis since I've seen LOTS of overgraded coins in them. The yellow slabs seem to have reversed the trend that started with the blue ones but are still suspect by many collectors. As always, buy the coin, not the slab. Bargains can be had in ANACS slabs [I]if you know what you're doing[/I]! As Doug advised, for more expensive coins in ANACS slabs, it may be advisable to get them recertified by NGC/PCGS to get the best selling price. For cheaper coins, it probably isn't worth the expense.[/QUOTE]
