    Well, depends on what you mean by "old holder". The most recent old one, or the ones from the net grading era?

    Old Holder= small white CW type holders.
    Current Holders= What you see now.
    New Holder= Something we haven't seen yet.

    I know I'm in the minority here, but I liked the newest-generation holders, and I thought the grading was good...I think that toward the end, they tightened up considerably, almost to the point where they details-graded coins that would've been OK at PCGS or NGC...

    Grading hasn't been a problem (that may change with the new ownership). Attribution took a nosedive. Old slab design but sized like PCGS and NGC would be my vote.

    ANACS should consider canning the new holder and going back to the old one. Further, it should offer variety services and be a nitch player. They will not complete with NGC or PCGS, however, a reasonable variety service seems to be needed.

    I thought Whitman had big plans for ANACS... I guess I was wrong

    Apparently they did have plans- selling them off!

    Companies should not treat employees in such a manner - if indeed the details reported here are accurate. We (my company) would NEVER do such a thing to our employees. If a company sale were made, conditions to care for the people would be part of the deal - or NO deal. Cheers, RickO

    Here's what I want, a nifty little 2x2 that looks professional and cuts down all the storage, carry and display problems associated with the larger slabs. J.T., perhaps you and your new company could provide a choice in slab sizes for your custumers.

    Old ANA holder, old ANA grading. Just make it old school!

    A very simple strategy: Back to the basics.

    Old holder with net grading, forget all the latest fluff. It didn't work. Go back to what worked even though it is tough to swallow some crow.

    I think my employer would. During the last employee policy handbook update they dwelled more on termination of employment issues than they did on policies that would encourage folks to stay; kinda like settin you up to dump you like a trash can if they decide they don't need you.

    Really doesn't matter to me as I have no plans to use or recommend their services. If I do buy anacs slabbed coins it will be for the sole purpose of promptly liberating them from their pukey plastic prison.

    I'm surprised that no one is currently net grading; there seems to be a real need for it.

    Leo, I really like that slab, but I would settle for the old one.

    I've always liked the mini-slab idea. Although all of the services rejected the idea, it's now time to revisit it, thanks to the Chinese. I figure one of the biggest reasons for not offering a mini-slab in the past may have been related to the security of the slab. Now that the security of a slab has been mooted by counterfeit slabs, the TPGs will be forced to implement online cert verification with images. And once that's done, a mini-slab becomes more viable.

    One last thought regarding "net grading" and "detail-only" grading. I've never liked the idea, for two reasons. First, because the numeric grade becomes increasingly useless (if not misleading) as the degree of the coin's problems increase. And second, because a collector doesn't want to be reminded by the TPG label every time he looks at his coin why it sucks. However, with a greater reliance on online cert verification, TPGs could provide this information (and much more) online, not on the label, allowing potential buyers to make a better informed purchase, without the aforementioned drawbacks.

    No grade at all. Just a $Price. This totally alleviates the problem for liner coins and net
    graded coins. No more deciding is it MS64 or MS65, or what does it grade with BU details
    with a big ol' scratch - just assign it a proper $Price. If the submitter doesn't like the $Price
    assigned and/or the market changes, just crack it out and resubmit for a new $Price.

    Yes, I'm kidding.

    Andy- that is by far the best thought I have seen in a very long while- the problem though is the input from the TPG graders, they see coins and do this in a mynoot time frame (I spelt it wrong on purpose)- to go into a brief explanation as to why - takes typing skills for some beyond comparison- they would need a stenographer sitting next to them to take notes.
    It would be a challenge thats for sure.
