ANACS submission time question...

ealandg

Hi all,

I am submitting to ANACS for the first time and going with the 5 day deal. Is it really going to be a 5 day turnaround?

Placid

Yes thats why they call it 5 day.

Hi ealandg:

Is it really going to be a 5 day turnaround?

Yes. I've done numerous 5 day submissions, and they've not missed a one for me.

They're really good on their turnaround times. Last time I used them, they got them out on the fifth day. Be forwarned about their economy, it means economy as in months and months.

You bet. I routinely get the coins back 12-14 calendar days after I mail them. Faster if I use priority or express mail to Ohio (an extra
buck or two).

You can also spend $3 and have them fax your grades to you when they've been finalized.

Cool. Thanks for the info. everyone. I just sent in a submission and found out today that I need to raise some money for some family stuff, so I'm anxious to get the stuff back now.

Interesting. The last few times I used them, economy wise, I go them back in 31 , 33 and 23 days, that's calendar days, not business days.

Admittedly, I haven't used them in a few months, but I intend to again. PCGS only gets CC morgans from me anymore after I went 112 days last year on an economy submission of 4 simple Morgans. Combining that with getting burned badly on a 50 proof cameo Franklin, I'm pretty much jaded with the "top" grading service. I still don't know how a Frankie that I had looked at by several Frankie experts who all said a lock 65 Cam, with a shot at 66 comes back as a 63.

I'm not even going to waste money resubmitting to them, once burned, twice shy. It's now accross the street and I'm patiently waiting. I decided not to use a sledgehammer on it after all.

I do appreciate this board, I don't want to get banned, but the truth is the truth and frankly, I've come to believe they don't really care about collectors at all, Just their preferred dealers.

I guess I got off on a rant there and off-topic, but ANACS is well worth looking into as an alternative IMO.

It's been a few years since I used ANACS economy service, but the last time I did, I think it was nearly four months from the time I sent them in until the time I got them back.

I don't know what is going on with PCGS, but I do hear their economy times are improving. I used to be really happy with them three years ago when you could count on getting your economy submissions back within six weeks. The last submission I sent them early last year took 15 weeks, and that was just not acceptable to me. For all my inexpensive Morgans I have needed to get slabbed, I have used NGC since then. If and when I see PCGS get their times down to under eight weeks I will use them again. I like their holders, as a buyer I like coins in their slabs, but quite frankly, the customer service is somewhat lacking.

I gave 26 coins to ANACS at the Baltimore show last December. With economy service ($9/coin), they were returned two days short of 12 weeks. At the March show, I gave them 24 coins using the 10 coins in 10 days for $10 per coin special. They were returned to me in 17 calendar days.
