Max Coin Diameter for ANACS standard size holder?

And PCGS and NGC, while we're at it.

I have a 42mm coin - does this fit in an ANACS holder? This would seem to be a common question but I can find nothing on their site.

Their response time for general questions is usually pretty good, but nothing like here.

Thanks to all.

From their website, ANACS will not grade:

Coins larger than 41mm (diameter) or thicker than 4.0mm

 

DAMMIT!

Thanks for the reply...

 

Grind it down

 

I'd send it in, might get lucky.

 

Can we see the coin?
Ngc does oversized holders for medals

 

@Atarian

In addition to the oversized holder, NGC has also added a "supersized" holder. Both can be seen here with the specs......

They can probably accommodate a 42mm coin. I had a broadstruck Carr piece that was 1 or 2 mm larger than their stated maximum and they still slabbed it. You should call them

 

The diameter limitation is surprising. I know in the small holder days, they explicitly said they wouldn't do the Pan-Pac $50s (43.5 mm round, 46 mm octagonal), but figure they had overcome that limitation with the quick-release holder introduction over 10 years ago.

PCGS and NGC don't have the same limitation for diameter with their normal holders.

 

NGC is 45mm - just ran into this on a recent submission.

 

I wouldn't. ANACS is notorious for charging a higher fee without informing the submitter if you don't follow their rules.

 

Thanks, I didn't know that.
