How are the newer yellow lableled holders.

ANACS that is. Has anyone had any experience with the grading standards and consistency with these holders?
Thanks,

RYK, so are you saying, buy the coin, not the holder?
-------------------
people offering opinions on other companies standards should not be permissible in this forum
BUT
about the best answer/advice you can receive to your inquiry is simply to look a lot of coins in that companies holders, look at auction results/sales prices, then you shall have your answer
a side comment though, the company you mention is known for its low-cost certification and variety attribution fees, quite popular amongst several coin organizations which shall remain
nameless as threads like this can and often times do get a little out of hand

I also ignore the holders and look at the coins.

My suggestion would be to concentrate on the coin not the plastic.

Absolutely...100% agree.

When I'm buying online, it's a bit tough to tell from photos. Of course I will evaluate the coin when I recieve one. Do you even consider them is what I mean.
Those reds/oranges/yellows are great for marketing fast-food chains
but, it probably only makes the coin buyer,after buying their coin, wanna
go to burgerking and get a whooper, er, another one in this case
Bottom line is you can take a chance if you are sure of your grading skills and have a return policy. I think they are fairly accurate on classic coins but have the same issues all TPGs have.
<< <i>I really like the old white ANACS holders, I think the grading standards were better then. With both the blue and yellow holder I have seen quite a few coins with weaker grading. I have seen a slight few occasionally with PCGS and a bunch of NGC weakly graded. Just my observation though. >>
Grades were possibly tighter back then (I stress POSSIBLY, since I've seen some latitude) but they allowed coins with hairlines into the holders with more frequency. I've never had tougher cross-overs than with the old white ANACS, almost exclusively because of hairlines.
I'm a better grader now, and have been fortunate to avoid these problems in the last few years, but I'm always wary!
