I heard that ANACS does NOT authenticate colonial coins. Does anyone know what service would?

PCGS will do anything except the $50 Panama-Pacific (just because it doesn't fit in the holder)

You mean ANACS.

NCS will authenticate any colonial.
ANACS will do Hibernias and Fugios - at least they used to.
If you want an opinion of authenticity and of grade, NGC and PCGS will do all colonials.
So, what have you got?
<< <i>Q. Are there any types of coins that ANACS does not grade and encapsulate?
A. ANACS does not grade and encapsulate the Panama-Pacific $50 commemorative due to insert aperture limitations. Any coin larger than 40.6 mm or thicker than 3.8 mm cannot be encapsulated. ANACS does not grade cob coins, counterstamped issues, certain emergency issues, some Mexican Revolutionary issues, colonials (with the exception of the Fugio Cent), California fractionals, ancients, blank planchets, paper money. ANACS also does not grade or encapsulate non-genuine pieces or coins with active PVC. >>

I have an ANACS slab with a cob in it. They did a bunch of cob treasure ship coins back in 2003.

Sounds like NCS is the winner for you, then.
<< <i>Conder---Did ANACS actually grade your cob? >>
Good question, I don't know. I bought it for the slab variety and never really paid any attention to the coin or what they said about it. I'll have to check it tomorrow.
