[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 797225, member: 112"]The chances are extremly good. I really hate to say this, but what has happend to you has happened to so many others that they defy counting. And I very seriously doubt the problem is with ANACS. If anything, I would be concerned that ANACS has over-graded your coins. Now to answer/respond to some of your questions/comments - Yes - there are plenty of dealers that cannot grade any better than you. Many people who think they know how to grade coins really don't. Fewer still have the ability to recognize problem coins. Yes - there are plenty of dealers that will pass off harshly cleaned and/or AU coins to the public and continue to do so to the same people for years Yes - ANACS's reputation is not what it used to be. But that is because of the grading standards they use now. The people there are still quite capable of recognizing harshly cleaned or problem coins. But I would say that they are even more lenient regarding problem coins than NGC or PCGS. Meaning some of those coins that ANACS did assign a grade to, may not be graded by NGC or PCGS. It's not what you want to hear I know, but the problem may even be worse than you think it is. As you commented earlier, no I don't know you. But you don't know me either. Right now you're probably feeling like my words are overly harsh, I apologize if you feel that way. But as others here that have known me for years can tell you, that's just me being me. I tend to be blunt to a fault. But what I say is said with honesty, respect and comes from the heart. It is also often said with saddness - as it is here. Like I said above, over the course of my life I have met so very many who have had similar experiences. I've heard the same story time after time after time. I know that doesn't make you feel any better, I am merely saying it to let you know that you are not alone in this.[/QUOTE]
