How's ANACS with MS Morgans?

dan1ecu

Does anyone have any experience with ANACS graded gem Morgans? Are they generally of the same quality as PCGS and NGC?

Dan,
I sent in 9 morgans to them and thought they were graded a bit hard (so probably perfect).
(3) 1899p ..I had graded ms 62 each and they came back (2) at ms 62 and one "cleaned" net ms 60.
I swear for the life of me am not sure how it appeared cleaned.

(6) 1881 cc -1891 cc I graded ms 62 or better and they came back (4) ms 62, (1) ms 63 and (1) "cleaned" unc details
net au 58.

Also a 1928 peace I graded (hoped to be) ms 64 and graded ms 63.
My best was a 2 1/2 liberty Gold which came back as ms 63.

All in all I thought it was fair and the turn around time using the 5 day service was 5 days.

Hope that helps a bit.

Dan, I have had great luck with ANACS Morgans crossing over to PCGS, as long as they are MS64 or less. I had a couple of 65s that came back as 64s from PCGS. The two that crossed that really made me happy were a 78-CC MS62 and 81-CC MS64. These days I tend to avoid ANACS 65s and above and stick with 62-63-64s.

Hi, Idahosilver -

I appreciate your comments. I picked up an 1887 ANACS MS65 Morgan in a Heritage auction for about $75 - a good deal if it's a real 65!

Hi, k6az -

I don't think I'll attempt to cross mine. It's toned, and I'm taking a chance that it looks much nicer in person than it does in their scan (lots of coins do!).

ditto above statement. I'm skeptical of anacs morgans graded 65 and above. I do believe they're comparable at the 62-64 range.

I think ANACS is very good at grading MS Morgans.
I recently had an 81-CC & 85-CC both ANACS MS65 cross to PCGS as 65's.

I had a few Morgans cross from ANACS to NGC and or PCGS. Course they were the better dates like 93-s 93-o 95--o; that sorta thing. Now we will see if the NGC's cross to PCGS.
