ANACS scores with Miles Standish

ScarsdaleCoin

Its officially released in the newspapers that Miles Standish returns to ANACS as Chief Numismatist....another feather in ANACS cap if you ask me!

RKKay

Wow! Good news for ANACS.

Barry

Just wondering - is he related to THE Miles Standish?

BlindedByEgo

Is he proud?

No, but Ron Howard is related to Opey.

I don't know Miles Standish myself, and I have to ask...why is hiring Miles Standish such a big deal to a grading company? Is he known as one of the best graders out there?

Which - Miles or that joke?

Miles leaving PCGS is a huge, huge loss for PCGS. I didn't appreciate what a good job he did until he left. I hope it works out for him at Anacs.

Big big news...it was already news but now official.

I met Miles in the summer of 2004... extremely nice guy and a fantastic grader. This is great news for ANACS.

Boom

Makes you wonder why Rick Montgomery, Miles and a few other key people have all decided to leave.

Under the circumstances that makes me glad ANACS scores with him. (so to speak)

Let's see, PCGS was overbid by just a tad and lost the PNG endorsement, founding fathers starting leaving, new graders were hired, grades started getting pathetic and we are now 7 months into a self imposed Presidential Review....people selling their Registry sets like crazy.....I must say, it's not looking too promising for the so called #1 tpg service on the planet.

To quote Questor54, dissing PCGS is bad

I met Miles during the summer 2004 ANA Advanced Grading class. Miles is a class act and brilliant when it comes to this profession. In fact it was through his cojoling me that I began to submit to PCGS also. I'm so mad at ANACS right now I hate to applaud them, so I won't.

It certainly is a loss to PCGS, but any foretelling of doom for PCGS is certainly baseless and premature.

Best wishes to Miles!

Mad at ANACS? I'm on record here as a HUGE supporter of ANACS. They've always been top notch IMHO and every bit an equal to PCGS, better in some respects i.e. Slab size and design (Again, my opinion)

Yeah right, Opey and Ron Howard related. Next you'll be telling us that Andy Griffith and Ben Matlock are related.
