<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The Half Dime, post: 25327996, member: 153164&quot;]I&#039;m at VG-10. I went on PCGS Photograde and this coin looks <b>exactly </b>like a VG-10, even though the 2 are from different years, they couldn&#039;t look more similar.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Come on, Charley, give ANACS some credit. They, like ICG, grade coins in many areas that PCGS and NGC do not. For CAC, I&#039;m not too sure, as I haven&#039;t seen a single coin in their slabs firsthand.</p><p><br /></p><p>ANACS has definitely been improving their reputation over the past few years, and I see nothing wrong with their grading. They will use designations like &quot;obverse cameo/DCAM for proofs, and Cameo DMPL for Morgans that are.... well... incredibly incredible. ICG also uses a designation that I personally like: SPL (semi-prooflike). They have realized that some coins, like Morgan dollars, can be worth slightly more if semi-prooflike.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you think that PCGS and NGC are always spot-on, that is never the case. They can overgrade and undergrade just like any other company. One example is with some coins I&#039;ve seen that PCGS slabs as DCAM, and they&#039;re not even cameo. I can show you that coin if you&#039;re interested, but I simply don&#039;t know why people are against ANACS. I stand with both them and ICG, and while you may disagree, you should always do the grading yourself, even if it&#039;s in a PCGS/NGC slab.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
