Anacs Submission Question

Hey,
I'm about to send in my first Gold Coin to Anacs. I have there submission kit, but is it a good idea to send Gold in there plastic sleeves?
What have you done?
Thanks,
SM

  • Those things have been known to haze proofs, but not sure if they have long term effects on gold.
  • It is in a 2x2 cardboard holder, right now. They don't like people sending coins in them, but I don't like the plastic submission flips personally.
    ???not sure what to do???

    I've used the ANACS sleeves and flips with no ill effect. I don't think they will hurt the coin for the few days they will be in them and ANACS will give your coins a nice bath in acetone (I believe) before slabing.

  • The plastic sleeve is ok- I have submitted 'some' to Anacs as they ask.
    Reason- they are handling the coin and it is much easier to pull it out of a flip to view before they send it to the coffin making machine.

    They do NOT dip coins before slabbing.

    the plastic will not hurt gold.

    if you have a few extra bucks it might be wise to place your coins in a smaller flip first then place them in a 3x3 flip so they can take the inner flip out to examine your submission.

    Hell, if I'm sending in a coin that can make a 65+ grade I will do the best to send it so it won't get damaged during the entire process.
