    Fascinating.

    Has ANACS ever used holders like those?

    I've never seen those holders before. Why are there no grades given for them like on the other one you pictured?

    Well, "authehtic" (sic) is a grade. You can get the same (or "genuine") from any TPGS of you don't want to pay for an actual grade.

    OK I've held back until now to ask: what's wrong with these coins? Aren't "improperly annealed" planchets a legitimate thing?

    Granted, I am not a huge fan of them (unless I find one myself), but they seem to trade as bona fide "errors".

    The spelling error on the label is goofy, and the second-tier (?) TPG is worth noting, but isn't the coin otherwise collectable (by some)?

    One member here who sells error coins for a living has lots of them on his website.

    There is doubt as to their "AUTHEHTICITY". There is a possibility that they may be improperly "improperly annealed".

    This.

    If they are authehtic ANACS slabs, spelling error aside, they are quite likely improperly annealed quarters. On the other hand, if they are not legitimate slabs, they may not be errors at all.

    Honest question: do improperly annealed planchets usually come in roll quantities? I can see how they might.

    They lost the numbers after 2009? That hardly instills confidence.

    I also can't find any other improperly annealed quarters in those holders. If they were for a TV guy, shouldn't there be a lot of them? All of the Samoa quarters I see (improperly annealed) are in their regular holders.

    Edited to add: there are other coins in holders like that labeled "authentic".

    Usually no, but quite possible due to equipment failure or operator error.

    They aren't lost. The database has data going back to the earliest XXnnnn slabs. Over time and generations of their database, they've used different fields for different purposes. To pull in all the data for presentation, he's had to write some very complex joins to work around data where one field or the other is not present, has different flag values, etc. If you don't code it perfectly, chunks where a field wasn't used, can be "invisible".

    The data that has been "lost" is the photo-cert data. It's actually in the ANA library but is stored on Zip disks. Nobody has put the effort into recovering the data from the old media and then trying to extract it from some database that equally is no longer used...

    I am NOT a computer person. So, please excuse the potentially ignorant IT-related question.

    If the OP contacts ANACS, can someone there access their "database", and provide a definitive response regarding authenticity?

  • BStrauss3BStrauss3 Posts: 3,532 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Maybe. The CSRs might just be using a version of the same query screen you and I use.

    I am not, repeat NOT, saying that this is a genuine ANACS holder. That said, it appears that at least some genuine ANACS holders have "ANACS Certified" on the label.

    I I can address that topic.

    However, I use Joeys’s thread to show an eBay offer that fell my way—kind of a scary auction—only I bid—the seller markets rummage on eBay and this is his only coin sale—feedback is okay—the odd semi-sorted arrangement of the coins for the photos looks purposeful.
    The lot amounts to roughly thirty dollars face value. I bid the minimum $40.00 for the lot, and paid $22.00 for shipping—two times face value. I live with that, though, shipping seems high.
    The photographs and shipping cost kept bidders away, you think?
    Some are proofs and others are not, I’ll see.
    I’ll post what happens, good or evil.
    Then, again, I might not be able to post, I do not like hanging on the wall stinking, and I expressed it.
    I could die from embarrassment, I’ll change for the better.

    This is correct- these slabs are ANACS slabs and are authentic. Like @BStrauss3 said, we use those for large bulk orders, mainly from TV companies. All of the major grading services do work for these companies. These bulk submissions are in a different system than the regular submissions (hence the odd-looking cert #'s), and this was definitely a challenge when I was coding the cert verification and pop report for the site. I'll forward a link to this post to my boss, @ANACSPAUL and maybe he can provide some more insight. We're also transitioning to a new website (you can see some of it at www.anacs.com) and I'm not sure if the cert verification and pop reports will be completely redone or just getting a newer, prettier UI with the same backend. Either way I'll look in the bulk DB and see if I can identify these certs and get them working in the lookup.

    The misspelling of 'authentic' is a mechanical error. No grade on the holder means the customer requested authentication only.

    Can we send coins in under same authentication only plan with no grade at a lesser cost, or just large companies?
