<p>[QUOTE=&quot;harley bissell, post: 2832394, member: 88212&quot;]ANACS in my opinion is fantastic for verifying varieties and authenticating low grade key dates. No one will disagree with their pronouncements. Lately people have begun preferring NGC and PCGS. That began because they would buy back coins that they had over graded for the value of the assigned grade. Don&#039;t know if they</p><p>do that anymore. In my own collection only key dates are slabbed. Excess slabs that come in are sold or traded to other people. Third party grading destroyed baseball cards and comic books and stamps. Then they moved into coins. By destroyed I mean annihilated. Check into the lawsuits from Mickey Mantle rookie cards that literally disintegrated after being slabbed and the Superman #1&nbsp; comics that are no longer with us plus the one cent penny black stamps lost forever because some idiot wanted to get paid for his opinion. I&#039;m told that the earliest slabs used PVC and are now green slugs. I&#039;m sure that if they had not cured that little problem no one would be getting coins slabbed anymore. In my opinion I prefer to be able to look at my coins. If I did not want to do that I would by stocks and bonds.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
