<p>[QUOTE="David Setree Rare Coins, post: 2243041, member: 74719"]Other than to confirm authenticity, sending them to ANACS for grades is wasting money, in my opinion as the market doesn't recognize their grades at the higher levels. If they are all VF-AU and the reason for sending them isn't to get a high number but to check for fakes, ANACS is excellent. I happen to think their grading is fine too (Except for net graded coins--they go overboard on labeling even the most miniscule problem,. At least they did. I haven't sent anything to them in a while.)</p><p><br /></p><p> And they are many, many fakes in that series. I got caught with one at a local estate auction earlier this year. The piece was actually better quality than the US mint pieces. I was once told that if I am not making any mistakes, I'm not buying enough coins. Heh.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
