[QUOTE="Treashunt, post: 1952624, member: 6763"]That is a really silly (well, I deleted the word: ignorant) statement. Sure, NGC & PCGS sell for more, but ANACS is still a very good company. Case in point: I sent them a 1912 S V-nickel that came back G-06. At last year's ANA Chicago show I simply asked how many letters they needed for a VG. They apologized, and reslabbed it VG-08 -- NO CHARGE! I asked why, and they said, why should you pay for our mistake. Nice folks. Also, they are way better than others for varieties. I submitted a 1909 S and JP Martin looked at it, he instantly asked me if I realized the variety (I did know it was there, but wanted to see if they did). Yes, it was a 1909 S/hor S. No added fee for noting it on the label. It is now in a 63 RB holder. They have agreed on every variety that I have ever submitted. As for your other statement: "If you are only looking for authentication then you should learn the skill of authenticating coins. Another way to put it is knowing how to spot fakes." If you are capable of spotting every fake out there, then you are better than I am, or even Doug (See his comment above). The most important part of the certification, to me, is that it is a guarantee that the coin is authentic. Think again.[/QUOTE]
