<p>[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 1045679, member: 112"]Not exactly. People are advised not to use ANACS because ANACS consistently over-grades coins. In other words an ANACS 65 will be an NGC or PCGS 63 or 64. Now if that is what you mean by "the grade will be lower" - OK. </p><p><br /></p><p>But there is no bias based on grading costs or volume of submissions. The TPGs don't care if you submit 10,000 coins a year or 1 coin a year. They are still to going to grade your submissions the same way.</p><p> </p><p><br /></p><p> </p><p>Again, no. This is simply not true. Yes, ANACS grades and authenticates varieties. But they do that because that is the only way they can get enough submissions to stay in business. And the other TPGs like NGC and PCGS absolutely have people with the knowledge and expertise to grade and authenticate any variety there may be. But they choose not to do so because those varieties are very thinly traded and there is little market for them. So they only attribute the major varieties - those that have a large demand.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
