Well I sent in my $5 indian coin to ANACS today. Tommarrow I'm going to help raise more money for the door. I sent it in an airtight, (Is this okay to send it in? Would they take it out and grade it?). Last time I tried to open the airtight, I closed it so hard I had to bite it open, then pry it open with my fingers. The total cost $33, (I think I totalled it right).

I thought you were going to take the coin back for a refund to pay your parents for the door you broke and then wait and get a certified $5 indian?
Wrong move, IMO...

I wanted to return it, but my parents would not drive me back to vegas.

Not true, polybags aren't needed. Plus they ruin your proofs.

I wonder if ANACS denotes bite and pry marks that are on coins.
If they do, please scan the slab and post the pic here. That will be real interesting.

I tried to convince my mom to drive back home so I could get a flip! Grr. Any idea how much the fee will cost? My parents think its ridiculous that they'd charge you extra for something like that, but oh well..

The services want 2.5 x 2.5... much easier to remove coins safely.
The fee is probably a buck or two... and the charge is justified--they're hard to open and pose a risk to the coins. No reason that risk should come from their pocket.

US Mail is a fantastic service... you can even use a telephone to tell the store the coin is coming back!
But as George said... research things in the future. In a few minutes, someone on the board found a certified AU55 for $40 less than you paid raw (not including you now paying for ANACS). If I could offer any advice to you, don't buy any coins for at least 4 months... PERIOD. Buy a Red Book. Read it. Buy a grading book. Read it. Go to a show and just look at coins. Open posts here. Read them.
Acquire knowledge. Buy. To do it any other way is foolish, and a guaranteed risk... I promise you'll lose if you don't do your homework.

You're paying $273 for a 1908 $5 Indian to be graded by ANACS that may/may not grade AU55.
