Wuts the new ANACS?

 

That's a hard one... New ANACS calls it 64BN.... maybe...

 

I have to agree with Matt...

That is a tough one.

Um.

MS-Ugly?
Or MS--- wow, words fail me.

That ain't no woodie

 

Yellow slab. It was slabbed about 2 month ago.

 

thats improper alloy mix...planchet error..

 

I would not know how to grade it. But I do like MS-interesting. Not sure I like it.

 

In Ohio, they used a small white slab. Then the company moved to Texas, was eventually sold and they used a blue label. Finally, they moved to Colorado and began using the yellow label.

Note: Someone please correct me if I have the order mixed up a bit.

So are the blue slabs better than the newer ones?

 

Nice woodie!!!
But the pattern makes it hard to grade from your images.
I'd think at least -64 and a tick or two higher wouldn't surprise me.

For grading purposes I believe they ignore the wood grain and grade the marks and strike.
Finally if they are caught between two grades THEN maybe the pattern will be the decider.

 

Maybe someone who currently uses ANACS can answer this. I used them just once when they were still in Ohio.

Why would you say that?

 

Got wood?? I'd say ms something but can't tell beyond that

 

I thought they'd moved to Florida with ICG being in Englewood Colorado. Then the two companies just SWITCHED Ownership, graders, and some employees with ICG now being in Florida and ANACS in the Denver suburb of Englewood Colorado.

When ANACS was in Florida, they had the Blue Label and when they moved to Colorado, they switched to the Yellow Label.

My experience has been that they are tough with the Yellow Label grading whereas the Blue Label was still under the old ownership and a bit more laxed.

Correction: I reviewed my PM's with a lady that worked for ANACS which had in fact moved to Austin Texas.

Count me in the "He don't know what he's talking about" crowd!

 

I completely disregard anything after the little whities honestly.

 

One of the ICG execs attempted to buy ICG, but when his offer was rejected, he bought ANACS. Then he moved the company to Colorado and lured some of the graders away from ICG. Any ANACS employee who chose not to move from Texas was let go, and some of these were hired by ICG. What a mess!
