Grading Firm Staffs Play Musical Chairs
Two top grading companies are seeing many of their staff members switch teams following a recent change in ownership at one firm. Significant portions of the Independent Coin Grading Co. staff have joined ANACS and its new owner James Taylor, while several graders dismissed from ANACS have been hired by ICG.
