<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mike Thorne, post: 2324760, member: 56869&quot;]You can&#039;t place much stock in the &quot;old&quot; ANACS grading. They gave me a grade of AU55/55 on an uncirculated large cent I had bought. When I asked them to tell me where the wear was, they asked me to return the cent and then sent it back with the grade MS60/60! I submitted it many years later to PCGS and it came back MS64! A GSA 1883-CC Morgan I submitted to ANACS came back with the grade of MS63/63. NGC later certified it as MS66 Prooflike!</p><p><br /></p><p>As for the major certification services, I found recently that Heritage Auctions will not sell coins in ICG holders. If you send them one, they&#039;ll require that it be sent to either NGC or PCGS. They&#039;ll do that for you, by the way.</p><p><br /></p><p>Usually when you hear someone refer to the big three, they&#039;re referring to PCGS, NGC/NCS, and ANACS.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
