Message:: [QUOTE="Speedy, post: 165051, member: 705"]Well RanchI learned grading from the "old school" and while I understand and try to keep up with Market Grading I think ANACS went the same road ICG did....if you look at ICG they are great with coins dated before 1964 and coins that are circulated--but send them a modern and they will almost always overgrade it--before James Taylor took over in JAN and changed things around ANACS was really hard on coins and graded right IMHO--now you see tons of MS/PF70's poping up and their grading is sometimes off.....many times it could be their slab as I don't think their slabs make the coin look good in photos but the coins look overgraded a good bit of the time--I know dealers that agree and disagree with me---I've only seen a few of the new ANACS slabs in hand and what I've seen they are still pretty good on Morgan Dollars but on the others I've seen it looks like they have gone lose on them....Now I hope that as time goes on I'll see more and more right graded coins from them and I'll change my mind---and if I do I'll send them more coins to grade---my last shipment went to NGC.And maybe I've been wrong all-a-long....and that could very well be the case--I know that you have gotten your coins back from them and you really liked them---maybe it was just the first few months with all of the changes and moving that made them overgrade some....
