Did Taylor purchase ANACS on his own, or did he have some financial backers?

Someone in another thread mentioned that JT might have a rabbit or two up his sleeve. Does anyone know if he purchased ANACS on his own, or if he has a team of financial backers? Wouldn't it be a hoot if some unmentionable organization is behind the acquisition and will start encapsulating coins? It would seem to make sense to me.

    There were financial backers involved, I'll just leave it at that.

    It took some investigative work but I'll say that the hints and details of this "transaction" make perfect sense (though not always with positive goodwill) once the known fragments of fact are pieced together.

    Bottom line and I'll state it again...I sure as hell hope that James Taylor runs his new company better than he ran the last one he was in charge of.

    Gotta love how rumors lead to dumb questions that lead to more rumors. No one is willing to wait for facts before making questionable comments. (although I suspect it has always been this way)

    Well supposedly when the NEW ann axe moved to Texas they had a billion dollar backing and the goal was to unseat the Big 2. We know that didn't happen.

  • This is alot more interesting than the ANA drama for the last few years. I dont get the point to pay twice for 1 slab and a sticker.

    The point is that the slab and or insert therein is no guarantee of quality on a sight unseen basis. The CAC posse is further of the opinion that there is much improperly graded material in slabs no matter whose slab it is. Would you give me 40% over sheet for a PCGS slabbed Morgan in 64 just based on my say so? I didn't think so. I'd say that the CAC for a fee is agreeing to take another look and reaffirm that the coin in the slab is indeed of exceptional quality for the grade; sort of helping to separate the wheat from the chaff so to speak.
