Has anyone noticed any changes in ANACS grading since the ownership change?

bushmaster8

I believe they lost an important grader about the same time as the change in ownership. Has anyone detected any differences in the grading? the customer service? anything at all??

I has a submission of Morgans come back so totally incorrect that I spent a morning on the phone with ANACS and then the new owner (the name escapes me this instant.)

The ANACS rep I spoke with was no help. When I offered to show how each coin in the submission was incorrect according to numerous ANACS certified Morgans that I own and use as references, he told me essentially to get lost. If I wanted a review of the grades, I was instructed to send the coins back along with another grading fee.

I did the telephone 'up the ladder' thing and finally got a call from the boss's office at the new owner. The woman told me to ship the coins to Wes Jacobs at ANACS for no-charge review. I wrote up a detailed description of my disputes and shipped them off ten days ago. No response yet.

None-but I've heard from a reliable source that they may offer an optional, PCGS size holder which is a good idea IMO.

RVDavis---In your opinion were they overgraded or undergraded? Be sure to let us know how you make out.

I rec'd an email from them offering a 10/10/10 deal for Morgans and modern coins. This is the first time I have ever rec'd an email of any sort from them. Maybe they are finally seeing that it's the 21st century and will begin to offer services via the Web, ie. Pop reports, order info, grade info??? Chris

Only one submission since the change, and it seemed on par with previous submissions.

I've had two submission in the past two months, both were graded VERY tight! Thinking their going to clamp things down in order to try to give PCGS/NGC a run with their own version of the registry set! Guest a guess......

I sent in (don't laugh) a 1910 S Vg with what I thought was good large scale photo documetaion of VDB remains on the reverse. Well, they said it was just a 1910 s. They were probaby right...

ANACS probably saw it, and reduced the grade without 'net grading' it. It's happened to me.

They have a 10-day 10-coin Morgan or Modern $10 special now.

I got ANACS economy grades in and let me just say this:

If PCGS is the standard by which we measure TPG's, then I would have to rank ANACS as the number 2, and NGC as number 3.

The grades I received from ANACS for coins cracked out of PCGS holders are much closer to the original PCGS grades than I expected. Of 15 coins, none grade higher. 13 recieved the same grade as PCGS and 2 received lower grades. Two PR68 PCGS coins are now PF66 cam and PF67 cam in ANACS.

Correction: it's all US Dollar coins, not just Morgans.

That would be my opinion as well. However, NGC has tightened in the past few months to the point of insanity.
