My earlier post about the damaged Buffalo in the problem free ANACS holder is a prime example. I have a mere handful of lower tier slabs in my collection, probably less than 5, and even with that small of a sample size I've already been burned. If ANACS can slab a coin like that I can't imagine how much worse the other ones must be. When competitors of PCGS and NGC give out problem free grades for coins with problems that Stevie Wonder wouldn't have missed, there just isn't any support for a conspiracy theory.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
