Message:: [QUOTE="19Lyds, post: 1143454, member: 15929"]Slight disagreement Doug (but then what's new right?) The new style ANACS Blue Holders may have a tendency to be overgraded but the new ANACS Gold Holders have a tendency to be undergraded IMO. My latest submissions to them would surely upgrade at PCGS or NGC. YES, ICG and ANACS flipped owners and pretty much staff but my limited experience with both companies has been that the old ICG Staff was fairly accurate and the new ANACS Staff is fairly accurate if not a bit tight on their standards. I personally get tired of hearing that PCGS and NGC are the "TOP" two grading companies since it automatically implies that ANACS is a nothing company which could not be further from the truth. The TRUTH of the matter is that ANACS is just as god a grading company as PCGS or NGC AND offers variety attribution at moore than reasonable rates. For a coin flipper, PCGS and then NGC would be the best choice but for a coin collector, ANACS is a perfect viable alternative. Especially if Variety attribution is needed. For Example, even though this coin is in the CPG Appendix as an FS-101: [ATTACH]117562.vB[/ATTACH] Neither PCGS nor NGC will attribute it since it's not in the Kennedy Section of the book which, IMO, is a crying shame. To ME, thats not the sign of a Top TPG. Yes they guarantee their grades and attributions and I'm about to find out exactly what that guarantee entails but, I also know that to GET that guarantee, I gotta fork over $25 per coin in addition to all the other fee's that get tacked on. Whatever. I guess I'm a bit tired of drinking at the PCGS and NGC bars when the liquor is just as good across the street.[/QUOTE]
