ANACS submissions arrived today (pics)

ANACS grades arrived today – 40 days economy service, which was much better than the expected 60 days. I received the package notification last night after the post office closed, so I did not sleep a wink last night in anticipation. I was hit with a few cleanings that I did not expect to see, but overall I am a happy camper. Despite the DETAILS grades, these roubles are still pleasant to look at. I will work on some pics in the next couple of days.

1769 – Russian 1 rouble – VF-35
1798 – Russian 1 rouble – VF-30

Geez, those are pretty harsh gradings. Oh well... worldcoinguy is going to be one of my "rivals" in collecting Russian coins

Regardless, well done!

Good grades. I see Anacs no longer assigns a net grade, but uses the NCS system, mentioning the condition (details), the problem, but leaving the net grade, therefore the price to pay for, to the interested parties. There was a related thread over at the Liteside , personally I preferred the numerical net grades.

I have several pieces I've been planning on sending to ANACS. I've always liked their tight standards, but how are they will world coins, especially modern stuff? One thing I love about ANACS are the small holders. Much more convenient.

Thanks for the kind words. This submission meant the world to me, so I was sweating hard upon its return. I know ANACS grades tough sometimes, but I am happy with the results. Here are some pics:





I can live with this cleaning:




This is the beauty contest winner:


I was convinced this was not cleaned, and 2 other dealers had the same opinion. Maybe it was a slight dip? Colors are beautiful regardless.




Cleaned, but still a nice look to it:

WOW!! Thanks so much for the pics. I especially love the Catherine the Great rouble. What a beautiful collection!

Yes, that Catherine the Great coin is super!

Seriously, I thought that grading of Catherine the Great was a bit too stingy. I was expecting at least VF40, or XF45 - I mean look at the obverse, you can see the details of the feathers etc. The same goes with the Paul I ruble, but alas, that sure was darn harsh. At least, I sure love the redness of the 1833 1k
