Will the new ANACS be the grading service of choice for HSN and Coin Vault?

Seems like one of the only ways to make a go of the New ANACS would be if James Taylor were able to get HSN and Coin Vault as customers before he made his move. The shear volume that would bring in would be the only real way for this to take off.

If this happened it would just about bankrupt ICG.

Anyone have any insight about HSN or Coin Vault moving over to ANACS?

    Maybe ANACS hopes that by selling to the public via TV shows that some customers will
    turn to ANACS when they want to get coins graded.

    As for ICG, who is there now?

    I'm surprised senseless hasn't made a a deal with HSN for NTC or SGS (can't remember which one is his) graded coins. He probably could undercut ANACS.

    My crystal ball say yes, and this coupled with eBay's approval of ANACS will be enough to keep it viable. Think of all the eBay banned tpg's rolled into one and you have it.

    I do not see coin vault moving from NGC any time soon.

    I just looked at the ICG website and they changed the page. Staying with ICG are graders Cameron Kiefer
    and Larry Wilson. From the old ANACS, the web now lists Randy Cambell, Tim Hargis, Mike Ellis, and Andy Vickery.
    Also hear that Casey formerly of ANACS has also joined them.
    Amazing how ICG management pulled that off in a couple of days.
    Looks like the ICG people are serious about rebuilding their company

    I wouldn't place any bets on things looking like that in thirty days.

    Too bad they weren't THAT serious about keeping it once they had it.

    yes.

    I thought the scuttlebutt here recently was that HSN bankrolled all or most of the JT purchase of anacs.

    I am still wondering who put up the money for the buy out.
    Just think how little investment would be needed to have your own grading company for a TV retailer?
    I don't know for sure but it keeps sticking in my craw that the first public diplay of the new ANACS was where?
    I have questions but have not heard the answers!!!!!
    But who cares I won't be buying any of there products.

    From what I know of the Coin Vault, they are approx 85% NGC and about 15% PCGS
    There have been brief mentions of ANACS from time to time on the show, but it is rare.

    I watch Coin Vault frequently, and if I notice any ANACS slabs being sold, will make a posting if possible...

    As I stated before on 2/3 threads, Michael Fayhe was hired by Anacs and was on HSN the other night saying that they will now be slabbing for the show. Also Mike the host of HSN stated they are still under contract with ICG, don't know how long but HSN will use both companies to have their HSN coins Slabbed.image
