<p>[QUOTE="Numismania, post: 1909276, member: 28971"]A while back, boy, did things change. It was almost as if ANACS became ICG and vice versa. ANACS did take a 'hit', and, IMHO, their grading on some series, changed for the worst, but some, like Morgan's, remained pretty much solid. For your best chance at picking up a nice Morgan on the 'cheap', in hopes to at least crossover to one of the top 2 TPG's, giving it a better resale value, ANACS isn't a bad choice at all. Not crazy about how they grade Washies, in particular (they grade Washies very similar to how ICG did). I sent 3 'new' ANACS (blue and yellow label) for 'crossover' to PCGS, 1 downgraded 1 grade (66 to 65), the other 2 dropped 2 full grades (67 to 65)...I would have been happy had those 2 only downgraded 1 pt. Before the change, I sent in five ICG Washies, and only 1 'crossed' at 1 grade lower, 3 downgraded by 2 pts, 1 came back 'Unc details....cleaned', which I thought the toning just might be hiding. Modern stuff seems to always be overgraded, much like ICG was doing, but, as I said, it seemed as if just the 'names changed'. </p><p><br /></p><p>Ethan, if your coins are Morgan's, my opinion is, you have a 50/50 shot a crossing with ANACS Morgan's.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
