White ANACS compared to new PCGS

Just wondering how an old white ANACS slab would cross to a new PCGS. Anyone had experience with this? Favorable results? Thanks for input!

    The old white ANACS holders are usually graded pretty accurate to todays standards. You might get an upgrade or two but I would not expect that very often. Crossing over at the same grade on the other hand, I would say the chances are good. I like those old white holders by the way, just because they are so compact and take up less space.

    I have a double eagle (1927) in the old ANACS holder (black reverse hologram)...It looks properly graded... could possibly go one higher, (62-63).... Happy with it as is..... Cheers, RickO

    Most don't know but the pre-ANACS 1st gen ANA label hotel-soap slabs are even slightly smaller

    The more you VAM..

    I have had mixed results with ANACS Old White Holders. Hopefully I will score on my latest acquisition.

    I don't care for the tarnish around the rims...but some folks do.

    Hard to say. Proofs are almost impossible to grade from pictures. Hard to see the hairlines, dings etc....

    I stay away from old ANACS holders that start with 1. Circa early 2000's.

    There are two types of old, white ANACS holders; those from when ANACS was owned by the ANA and those after ANACS was sold to Amos Press. The ANA era slabs were conservatively graded and had many nice coins in them, but they stopped being issued around 1990, if I recall correctly. The remainder of the white slabs were issued up to at least 2000 and they are not held in nearly as high esteem for the quality of the coins or grading.

    You have a later slab.
