ANACS to PCGS

ibzman350

One of my first coin purchases, at a local auction (a pawn shop) I bought a 1886 Morgan graded by ANACS MS 65/63, not slabbed. It's in a plastic baggy with a picture of the coin, the coin is the same one pictured and coin was graded in 1984. All my slabbed morgans are in PCGS slabs. Has anyone submitted such a coin to PCGS and what were the results??
From what I make of the MS 65/63 grade, the obverse was graded 65 and the reverse 63. In what grade should the coin come back, 65 or 63.
I also have a 1948 Franklin same senerio coin and picture match up this coin is graded 65/65 and was done in 1981.
I know I was lucky to end up with pictures and coins that match.

I have 2 of those old "photo certs". 65/63 is the grade for the obverse/reverse respectively unless I'm mistaken. The two I have look fairly graded but I've been told that these generally are unlikely to cross at the ANACS grade given. I think mine would likely cross if I was worried about such things.

Leave it as is. Those are collectable

MS63. The obv carries the grade unless the rev is lower.
It's possible that if the obv is actually 65.0 & the rev is 63.9 it could grade 64.

Do you also have the genuine naugahide padded folder that it comes in? It's actuallykinda cool.

barracuda... I don't have the naugahide holder they came in, one is in a zip lock baggy and the franklin in a currency holder.... But I did own a naugahide couch a few years back does that count??

Though I could be wrong, I seem to recall reading that ANACS won't even slab these coins in the grade originally given by them. As I remember, what was once considered MS65 is, by today's standards, considered MS63. Likewise, MS63 is now closer to MS60.

I realize the absurdity of this statement, but none the less, that's how I remember it. Of course, the ANACS of old is not the same company as today's ANACS.

Sure it counts, as long as you can keep your legs from stickin'.
