Keep an eye out on the new Anacs slabs - Anacs to PCGS upgrade

While doing a search of rainbow toners on eBay, I came across a sold listing that looked familiar.
This PCGS MS 66, which sold for almost $5,300 a few days ago was auctioned on GC back in October 2025. Back then it was an Anacs MS 64 and brought slightly under $800. A nice upgrade- grade and dollar wise! And a reminder to keep an eye out on all sorts of slabs, including the new yellow Anacs holders, as they can have some nice coins.

Anacs use to almost always cross.
Only lower grades now.
High grades long shot now
My last anacs 67 a real clean fml coin got a DNC. What awaist of money and especially time.
Which grade do you think was more accurate in your opinion?

From what I see, Anacs graded it without taking color into consideration (not market graded) while PCGS had a color bump.
I would split the difference and call it a 65. There is a cheek hit that looks significant enough to prevent a 66 in my view.
Is it just me but is that ANACS slabbed coin the same one as the GC 1939057? Seems the toning is similar…but not the same coin. The ANACS slab has an untoned spot over the star at the 4 o’clock position while the GC image shows a similar untoned spot at 3 o’clock position over the M. Just my opinion but they look like different coins to me. Cheers, karl
I think that what you see is a reflection of light when at the GC studio.
Now take a look at the TrueView photo at 3 or 4 o'clock.
The TrueView didn’t hurt that one bit

Yes it’s the same coin and you can line up some of the hits/marks. The photos are done differently so that makes it a bit harder to match up.
Looks closer to 64 as a technical grade. Not sure I like market grading since some folks might think it's a 66 with a toning bump.
Pretty coin but not a gem imo. All the color does is distract from the marks consistent with choice uncirculated designation which is what ANACS gave it.
Einstein’s view of God was non-traditional and pantheistic, focusing on the harmony, order, and intelligibility of the cosmos rather than a personal deity. His quotes reveal a profound respect for the universe’s mysteries, a belief in rational laws, and a moral philosophy grounded in compassion and understanding, bridging science and spirituality.
“My religion consists of a humble admiration of the illimitable superior spirit who reveals himself in the slight details we are able to perceive with our frail and feeble mind.”
Albert Einstein (14 March 1879--18 April 1955)
Judging by only those photos, both services got it wrong.

Um, add $5,000 for pretty toning? I have to bite my tongue. To each his own, yay.
I don't think it's hit I think it's just breaks in the toning.
Yeah common date Morgan going for over $5K all due to some environmental damage. It is a crazy world that we live in. my first thoughts is it needs a bath and my second thought is I wouldn't drop more than $250 on that coin even if it really was a 66. RGDS!
The whole worlds off its rocker, buy Gold™.

Wooooha! Did someone just say it's officially "TACO™" Tuesday????
Retiring at 55, what day is today?
The part I circled looks like a hit and not a toning break. It’s deeper than a toning break would be.
It's very common for these toned pieces to get grading bumps on resubmissions. I've sold similar coins in 65 CAC and saw them pop up in 67+ CAC later on. The technical grade is not as large of a factor in these coins. I've also seen similar cheek contact in white coins graded 65-66, so I'm not that surprised.
I've had ANACS slabbed coins go both ways in crossing over to PCGS, one up and one or more down. Hard for me to figure it out. That's a nice Morgan though.
I agree and buy coins from all holders and even raw. I remember cracking a DCAM 1951 Franklin from SEGS, dipping it, and having it come back the same grade from PCGS before selling it for a 10x-15x profit.
