<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mike Thornton, post: 8347123, member: 105289&quot;]I would have to say that for me, ANACS is totally a legitimate TPG.&nbsp; If memory serves, they were the first.&nbsp; They clearly don&#039;t command the sales premiums that PCGS or NGC do, but that is totally market driven which means &quot;us&quot; the buyers and our perceptions.&nbsp; One thing I would suggest you consider is the ultimate purpose of slabbing a coin.&nbsp; First for me its authentication and protection.&nbsp; Second is retail value.&nbsp; Another point, that causes mixed feelings with me, is that when you look up a cert number for ANACS you get confirmation on what it is and where it fits in the population.&nbsp; What you don&#039;t get and they don&#039;t give you is a value.&nbsp; I&#039;d like a value but at the same time, they aren&#039;t making any claim to market value, just what the coin is.&nbsp; The top two show values.&nbsp; So from at least one perspective, one could see this as self serving.&nbsp; The top two are pretty good at marketing themselves and how many coins they&#039;ve graded, top populations, etc.&nbsp; Still, marketing tools.&nbsp; JMHO.&nbsp; Good luck.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
