[QUOTE="The_Cave_Troll, post: 1513100, member: 1674"]Doug, your opinion is dated here. The market values ANACS coins about where they used to value ICG coins, because the work is approximately equivalent to where it used to be (before the grading staff swap). However the ownership of ICG was exposed when the graders swapped companies and the market responded to what it found out was going on behind the scenes at ICG and their product is no longer salable in the mainstream marketplace. It simply isn't respected. To the OP - as has been told to you already, you need to avoid coins in any holders other than NGC and PCGS . The properly graded ANACS and ICG coins have virtually all been crossed into NGC/PCGS holders by dealers with far more experience than a "noob" collector (your words). Buying coins in those holders if you aren't an advanced grader yourself is asking for trouble (i.e. an expensive mistake that you didn't notice).
