<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1143149, member: 112&quot;]A lot of people ask that question. But that&#039;s because they usually don&#039;t realize what happened to those 2 companies a couple of years ago.</p><p><br /></p><p>ANACS used to be a very respected grading company. But a few years ago the company was sold and the new owner decided to use new grading standards. So the coins they grade today are considered by most to be grossly over-graded.</p><p><br /></p><p>Same kind of thing happened with ICG. When the company started upmost considered the older coins they graded to be accurately graded. But ICGS also had the reputation of grossly over-grading moderns. Then, like ANACS, the company was sold a couple years ago and they too changed their grading standards.</p><p><br /></p><p>So what you have today is that ANACS and ICG no longer have the respect they used to have when it comes to grading. It used to be that there was what they called the top 4 grading companies - NGC, PCGS, ANACS and ICG. All others were considered to be below par. Today, there is only the top two grading companies - NGC and PCGS. Today, all others are considered to be below par.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
