<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Morgandude11, post: 1431991, member: 37839&quot;]There has always been talk of preferential grading for large dealers and prestigious collectors.&nbsp; Do I think that Jack Lee was the beneficiary of his reputation and fame?&nbsp; Perhaps--that one is almost impossible to determine.&nbsp; Graders are allegedly looking at coins &quot;blind from the submitter.&quot;&nbsp;&nbsp; However, it would not take much for some of the graders to be told which coins to look for, and which ones to give the double white glove treatment.&nbsp; Yes, subjectivity enters this realm, but would a grading service compromise its reputation based on subjectivity and lack of consistency?&nbsp; &nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>ANACS has served its purpose, and for its market segment, has done a good job.&nbsp; Is it on the same level as NGC and PCGS?&nbsp; Doubt that anybody would imply, suggest, or even state that.&nbsp; However, I have owned many ANACS coins in the past and they have both &quot;bought&quot; and &quot;sold&quot; well.&nbsp; They are also a venue for deserving coins to make their way into slabs, despite problems--attractive or rare coins that are not pretty, or that have been messed with, but have historical and numismatic importance.&nbsp; So, that is my two cents. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
