[QUOTE="Delmer, post: 210973, member: 8219"]I get the general feeling from reading, that most folks who submit errors (for my purpouses.. I'm talking specifically errors, not just any coin) know that certain graders have certain stigmas attached to them. If no one's scared.. and without doing things like posting rant based on a single negative experience.. would anyone like to try a list of facts or well known generalizations made about specific grading outfeits? Example.. (none of these are actual.. only examples.. if no one QUOTES these, I'll eventually delete them from here so no one finds the sentences in a search) - ANACS seems to grade conservatively probably due to their guarantee.. thus when you see a NGC MS-66, it's worth a ANACS MS-65 - NCG is not the general first choice for ERROR research.. use {xyz grader} - SGS' plusses include the almost unbreakable sealed package, but the foam dust is a bit bothersome. What I think would be useful is a consolodated opinion guide to services.. for error entheusiests, by entheusiests.. Some boards have a "vendor feedback" section. Selfishly, I have a smooth edge Washington $ with so called "wild-whisker" die crack and I'm SURE no one will label it as such just yet.. (ANACS wouldn't label my edge-letter-shift Washington $ based on "no published report of it" {shrug} ) and I'm wondering which outfit will likely do it FIRST and which outfit is the BEST to have an error labeled with?
