<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 1574869, member: 4626&quot;]Which even if you accept that assertion, has zero relevance unless you intend on selling your coin in the future.&nbsp; Also even if you do, ANACS is the only TPG of the major 4 that will certify many varieties and die pairings.</p><p><br /></p><p>The only reason NGC and PCGS have more support is because of self-fufilling prophecy of people continuing to repeat that they have the best reputation, which is believed by people who don&#039;t trust their own opinions about the coins they are buying.&nbsp; A slab regardless of who slabbed it adds ZERO value to a coin; it may make it easier to sell to people who want the added assurance of a third party&#039;s opinion, but a $100 coin in a PCGS slab is still only worth $100.&nbsp; There&#039;s no such thing as a more accurate &quot;opinion&quot; since all opinions are by definition subjective, but ANACS is just as reliable as anyone else in the sense they have high consistent standards they adhere to, ans they charge less for their services.&nbsp; If you just want a reasonably reliable disinterested opinion, may as well go with the company that charges the least for it.&nbsp; As for marketability, again that&#039;s an irrelevant point unless you intend on selling it.&nbsp; One who buys coins with the intention of reselling them at a profit is as far as I&#039;m concerned not a coin <i>collector</i> by definition, but a coin <i>investor</i>.&nbsp; Not saying one can&#039;t be both, but as far as I&#039;m concerned if you buy coins primarily for the sake of hoping to resell them at a profit, you&#039;re not a true collector.&nbsp; Collectors collect things; if you&#039;re not keeping what you buy, you&#039;re not really collecting.&nbsp; I occasionally sell or trade some coins for the sake of acquiring more coins, but the majority of my collection will not change hands until I die.&nbsp; So I don&#039;t really care whose name is on a chunk of plastic some of my coins happen to be in.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
