<p>[QUOTE="Owle, post: 1390476, member: 22004"]I saw a nice type I $20 Liberty at an auction the other night and made a conservative bid on it because I could not examine it in person: <a href="http://www.teletrade.com/coins/lot.asp?auction=3235&lot=2673" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.teletrade.com/coins/lot.asp?auction=3235&lot=2673" rel="nofollow">http://www.teletrade.com/coins/lot.asp?auction=3235&lot=2673</a></p><p><br /></p><p>It sold for strong money even though it was in an ANACS holder. I did not see any wear on the coin, but it is hard to make that call with an auction lot. When people have a choice, why do they select ANACS for high value coins? I have had $20 LIBs that were in PCGS and NGC holders as AU58 and were graded MS62, etc.. Probably not everyone who wants to get their coin graded knows which service to send it to. If they use the "free" grading at an auction company, they will get it back from grading a lot faster through ANACS. Anyone else have thoughts on why people select a particular grading service?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
