[QUOTE="greatcollection, post: 25686376, member: 26235"]I reviewed the coins myself and caused this. :-) I strongly believed the OP would net more money having them graded at PCGS, taking into account the difference in grading costs. If I owned them, there would be no question. One coin in particular, if I'm right in what it will grade, I predict will sell for $100s more in a PCGS holder. I still think ANACS will do a great job - and we still submit a lot of coins to them (and other grading services). Also - the question of conservation - very few coins actually benefit from conservation. I believe less than 1 in 100 on average. Many people believe conservation can save or improve every coin, but it doesn't work that way. I thought there were some PVC issues on a few of the coins (Andy thought one, I think, while I thought another one or two), which we can simply remove that at no cost and without any chance of damage to the coins. PVC does not need conservation in the vast majority of cases. Despite our recommendation, we're 100% flexible - and it is always the consignor's decision. PS. It is much more common that we recommend coins to go the lower cost ANACS route that a client wanted to spend extra money at other grading services. In fact, this might only be the 4th or 5th time in 13 years we've recommended it the other way. - Ian[/QUOTE]
