I think the strictness of ANACS fluctuates wildly from time to time...I sent them 20 coins a few years ago that they graded MUCH stricter than either NGC or PCGS. It was ridiculous. Calling wheat cents AU details that NGC later graded MS64 (as an example)...

I sent a group of ten bright and flashy coins, same date and denomination, to ANACS a few years ago which graded MS64 & 65. Cracked them out and sent 5 to NGC, 5 to PCGS. Graded MS66 & 67, a couple of each from both services.

FWIW...
Yes, ridiculously strict. Never sent them anything since. Just about everything was off by two grades or called details lol
what does that tell you about TPG's? remember, it is their individual opinions you are paying $$$$ for. and of course their well respected (or not ?) name and reputation.

Just curious.....Why are you using ANACS for grading?
CAN coins?
Stricker grading than PCGS and NGC, and less expensive, and quicker turnaround time.

Disagree with your first point, while I agree with your last two points.

Double eagle, I agree with you 100%.
