PVC on PCGS coins? Grades and No Grades received

KurtHorn

In my on-going personal quest to evaluate grading services, I recently submitted a few coins to ANACS that were in Different holders. I had cracked them and this is how they came back. PCGS coins had PVC!!! I'm disappointed...

All of these are Walkers...

1944-D PCGS MS 65 former serial # 71767696 - came back ANACS MS 64
1943-D PCGS MS 64 former serial # 21330007 - ANACS MS 64
1944-S PCGS MS 64 former serial # 21290984 - ANACS MS 64
1947-D PCGS MS63 former serial # 9153000 (old green) - ANACS MS 64
These are the ones that fry me...
1946-S PCGS MS 62 former serial # 3025423 - ANACS No Grade PVC
1935-S PCGS MS 63 former serial # 21369586 - ANACS No Grade PVC

Just for your info (and a hoot)
1935-D ACG MS 60 Accugrade former serial #ACG302376 - ANACS MS 62
1917-S Rev ACG AU-55 Accugrade former serial # 302363 - ANACS AU details cleaned net EF 45
And the funniest of them all:
1920-S SEGS AU 50 former serial # 5062561338300140259 - ANACS VF 35!!!!
Plus this SEGS didn't mention any problems it just said AU 50!

Maybe not. Not till they were cracked out and put in flips. What kind of flips do you have?

Looks like ANACS is right in the ball park with PCGS, with agreement on some and one up & one down.

Cameron, I only use the PCGS 2.5 x 2.5 flips for submissions to anyone.

Why would you crack the coin out? Why not send the PCGS's in just the way they are? as for the accugrade yeah I would have submitted raw- but not the PCGS...

They're not expensive coins. I didn't want any bias The 1935-S I cracked originally to be in a high grade Capital Plastic Holder Set.

Acetone the PVC coins and send them back in!

Cracking a PCGS coin and submitting raw to ANACS.......Talk about role reversal.

Really.

Double check, but once you acetone those pvc coins, I believe, and I could be wrong, that ANACS has a seperate service for regrades like that.

I know they mention it somewhere on the form, but don't have one in front of me.

Yes, you can crack coins and find pvc residue. May not have been removed completely upon the initial submission and in the slab the pvc problem doesn't escalate at a rapid rate. Could also be as Cameron suggested and from the pvc flips.
