I sent them 436 coins in Nov. It took then over three months to get the coins graded, and i have as of yet received the clear plastic box's to hold my coins. They sweetened my deal due to the quanity by putting a FS number on coins that were slabbed that were adentified as a coin with a FS number, out of the 436 coins only a handfull did they put a FS number on on when over a two hundred of them were clearly found in COPPER COINS with FS numbers, you make a deal with these people and once they have your money they will do as they please, i suggest you sent small volumes of coins and if they mess it up send it back untile they get it right, i learned this the hard way, and yes i am still looking for my plastic box's to hold my graded coins. chuck In Nov of 2009 in Coin World, ANACS had a front page add for a ten day turn arround for modern coins for ten dollars, they also would give you a clear plastic box to hold your coins if the order was twenty coins are more.

Since collecting over thirty five years.With no ties to any of these companies.I can honestly say that Both ICG and ANACS have come back with overwhelming popularity.Over the years I have noticed an influx of so called authorized dealers by both PCGS and NGC.These so called dealers have started with bulk submissions and destroyed the integrity of grading.Although this is warranted by all companies.It has taken the coin grading force to a new overload which has forced more coin grades to be graded improperly.

After a long study the companies I feel will ultimately feel the crunch of the effects of respectability.Will be the two biggest companies that have let so many coins fall through the cracks graded improperly.It goes back to the old saying.As a coin collector “You should always buy the coin and not the slab”.

ANACS has earned my respect by being the most consistent on grading over the years.Even through the changes that have taken place.I believe ANACS is well on the way to a great recovery since being hit so hard by PCGS and NGC with the force of the numerical grade changes.As in all coins and the histories involved.Only time tells with respect and popularity. NGC and PCGS will feel these effects right back at them.A betting man might even say BUY ANACS and you get more then you paid for.Buy into NGC or PCGS and you get less then you paid for.

My hat goes off to ANACS for coming back as the oldest and most respected.My hat goes off to ICG for being a company that proves to improve even through a hardship.Times have now changed and ANACS is back.

That is why after 35 years of coin collecting I have decided to join ANACS and make my first submission since the grading scales changed from 65 to 70.There slabs are crisp clean and very impressive.There standards of grading are the toughest.

My first submission was the first known 2009 American Indian Sacagawea.Which attributed as a five star no edge lettering error.I had it figured at an ms 67 or ms 68 by NGC and PCGS standards used from my studies.It came in at an ms 66.They have proven to me that they are indeed still the toughest grading company and again earn my respect as such.This is merely my opinion as there are many in the coin world.But time will prove as it already has.That ANACS is alive and well with more respect then ever.

While my credit card was charged for the services, I have not yet received my order. I tried calling the 800 number but I get "can not be completed as dialed". The email that I sent to James.Taylor@anacs.com was returned as undeliverable. If and when I ever get my coins, that will be the last time I use ANACS. B.
