months ago when a certain thread was started about "Who is the most under rated grading service?" I have since come to my senses! Everybody-all you dealers and most collectors- to a man cast your votes for ANACS...NOT ME...I had never owned an ANACS coin and I went against the grain actually believing what I said that day to be true!
I am posting this publicly for being wrong in what I said and the way I said it. All of you are correct-ANACS is the most under-rated and I hereby apologize for the stir I created. Maybe I should have done a better job listening.
I was always taught to stand up for what I believe in.....just the same as I was taught to be man enough to apologize when I am wrong. Obviously , having had good fortune picking out a few nice "Cherries" I believed what I said or I certainly wouldn't have taken the stand I did. I now have some ANACS products whereas before I did not and can see that all of you were right and I had just been lucky! Sorry fellas

There are good and bad coins in "all holders".ANACS is as good as PCGS or NGC in their own way.
Registry 1909-1958 Proof Lincolns
AND...for what it's worth....I respect a man that stands up for what he believes, wheather i agree with him or not!!!!!!
I cracked out a '41 proof Washington from a PCI PR65 holder and PCGS gave it a PR66. There's always their mistakes in the other direction, though not as often! Ya just never know!
Put some sugar on that pie, Bud. You're A-okay!

Your question really can only be answered on a coin by coin basis. ANACS, PCGS and NGC all have their good points. Without a doubt the early PCI holders are worth looking for. ANACS has had their inconsistent moments and ANACS coins can be woth looking for too. I guess the moral of the story is not to dismiss a coin based upon the plastic... look at it first because you just may be pleasantly surprised.
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
