Errors: PCGS or ANACS

Tootawl

When do you send your errors to PCGS instead of ANACS and why?

I send my missing clads because ANACS is too tight on their grades for errors. You'll get a higher grade form either NGC or PCGS!!!

ANACS is great on the RPM's or the like but with striking errors they go elsewhere.

ANACS reconizes more errors than PCGS.

WEll I sent all mine to ANACS...it was my first submission.

I've been sending my cheap stuff (simple off strikes) to ANACS but stuff like double strikes and mushroom strikes (I think that's the name of it) and other more expensive errors to PCGS.

honeywah

Well I hope I didnt mess up by sending mine to ANACS.

Tootawl

honeywah, I've sent to both. Right now, you will get the ANACS ones back long before you get the PCGS ones back.

You didn't...they are a great service.

Most of mine go to ANACS because of cheap prices for holdering. Grades DO NOT matter when it comes to striking errors, in my opinion. How can you really grade a mushroom cent, i.e. double struck indent witha split planchet? You cannot. The other services are folling themselves if they really think they can. I have 10 PCGS and 8 NGC graded dramatic errors. Quite frankly, I don't know how they can call such dramatic error coins MS66 and MS67.

These are just my opinions, so don't start the flames.
