<p>[QUOTE=&quot;1953, post: 2724671, member: 85158&quot;]A collecting buddy Paul came to me this weekend and had bought this about 5 days ago and asked my opinion. After looking at it I then asked him did they have a return policy and he said yes.</p><p><br /></p><p>I said contact them and ship back for refund. I wanted to see some opinions here on grading.</p><p><br /></p><p>My opinion was about an XF borderline coin. But color and &quot;luster&quot;&nbsp; to me would make it not even that.</p><p><br /></p><p>I was fair and photoed from all angles good and bad to show the coin on here.</p><p>In addition, even for a clad &quot;luster&quot; is bad and very dullish which does not even show up on these photos.</p><p><br /></p><p>I showed him as a comparison an AU-53 from PCGS and I took some photos, scanned them and and put them side by side. It was not even close. The PCGS I purchased as an AU-53 for quite a bit less than he paid for the ANACS 58 and the &quot;luster&quot; and color are not even close not to mention the nicks and abrasions.</p><p><br /></p><p>Am I wrong or was there a deal ANACS had going a little while back for dollar and cent coins for a submission and grading discount? I do not keep up with this as I seldom follow the slabbing criteria.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, I appreciate your opinions on the grade and now he can see it is just not me being critical.</p><p><br /></p><p>Steve[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
