<p>[QUOTE=&quot;wlwhittier, post: 1868861, member: 18320&quot;]I&#039;m an ANACS member, so I get their emails.&nbsp; Today, this was the pitch:</p><p><br /></p><p><b>&quot;Now, here is the deal for you: Through the month of February, you can extend the Dollars &amp; Cents pricing to any U.S. Mint coins.</b>&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>This seems like a reasonably priced way to get my feet wet in slabbing; I&#039;ve got Dollars, but the Cents have no interest for me.&nbsp; In between, however, I have a good variety of US silver, along with a single Quarter Eagle; their offer to opt for attribution, imaging, and conservation with this deal, all at their regular prices, also seems to be an opportunity long avoided out of ignorance.</p><p><br /></p><p>What does <i>attribution</i> mean in context of 19th &amp; 20th C US coins? And, is <i>imaging</i> a service that involves some digitized storage of pics of the obverse and reverse of each of my coins, in addition to the grading?</p><p><br /></p><p>I think I understand <i>conservation</i> to mean the most gentle removal of minor blemishes that will yield to the process...not to be at all confused with cleaning, and not necessarily undertaken on every coin submitted.&nbsp; I think (perhaps erroneously) all three of the extra options are priced by the batch, in this case minimum of ten coins, none of $500 value or higher.&nbsp; I&#039;m not afraid of &#039;body bag&#039; returns, either...though I will select my ten as well as I&#039;m able to avoid such embarrassment.</p><p><br /></p><p>Have any of you used these &#039;special offers&#039;?&nbsp; Have you got horror stories, or high praise, for ANACS?&nbsp; Would a consensus agree that this is an OK idea, or that I&nbsp; should avoid this offer?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
