Message:: [QUOTE="-jeffB, post: 8342987, member: 27832"]ICG continues to run a very attractive marketing promotion here, and continues to provide quick and reliable service. I don't think CoinTalk business will be enough to catapult them to the top of the stack, but they're certainly earning some friends here. I've done a couple of ANACS submissions here, either through local shows or during their better online promotions (a "two coins graded free" that ended up being about $15/coin after shipping and insurance). Their service was solid. I was disappointed with the grades I got a few times, but that's on me, not them. I took two Peace dollars to a show last year in ANACS slabs, an AU50 1934-S and an MS62 1921. My dollar guy made me a solid offer on the 1921, saying that he agreed with that grade. He said he'd probably flip it without submitting it anywhere else, because while he would get a better price with it in PCGS or NGC plastic, it probably wouldn't outweigh the added costs and delays. He thought the 1934-S might be overgraded, and didn't want it. There's a very steep increase from 45 to 50 on that coin; I'd be cautious, too. I hope he's wrong, but I trust his judgement in general.[/QUOTE]
