The best way to go...

Odds are that it would not be worth joining for one Trade Dollar. The exception is if the coin is in exceptionally high uncirculated grade. If you post a photo it might be helpful.
Other things to consider: PCGS rejects some coins for problems. ANACS typically holders problem coins (except fakes and those with active PVC contamination). Another option, if a person is trusting, is to piggyback the one coin with someone else's submission. That avoids the necessity of joining, or paying the much higher single coin grading fee (fees are less for 8 or 10 coins).
is that close to the price difference between pcgs and anacs?

That is ballpark. The same coin that gets the same grade at both companies will sell higher in PCGS plastic. However, for the average Trade Dollar, I'd say about a 50% chance of that scenario playing out. Other factors are that the coin might grade out higher at ANACS, or might be returned in a plastic bag with no grade from PCGS.
Check Teletrade and Heritage auction archives to see real world differences. Again, a lot depends on the actual coin and a better description or photos would be helpful.
Probably the most cost effective way to submit is to piggyback on someone else's submission. Perhaps one of your card buddies also is a PCGS club member or is sending in a submission to ANACS. The main thing for Trade Dollars is to get the coin authenticated because of the high percentage of fake coins.

Instead, I would locate a dealer that submits coins to PCGS and have them send in your one coin with their submission. You would probably just pay the grading fee for your one coins, and a small amount of the postage. If you can't locate a dealer, there are several here on these boards that are trust-worthy and would be willing to help out as well.
do these photos help at all? I'm planning on heading to a local coin shop to ask about the coin on monday. I went to a different local shop a few months ago and asked about the coin. He said upon looking at the coin that he was skeptical, but it weighed out correctly. I'll hopefully get it weighed again and have an exact # for you guys on monday. Is anyone interested in the coin pending the weight?

When comparing coin services to cards, in general (at least with vintage cards), PSA and SGC are both top tier companies. In coins, PCGS and NGC would the 2 top tier companies that would be a similar fit.
ANACS would probably compare more like GAI. So to answer you question, the anacs holder may bring a discount much lower than PCGS, perhaps as much as 50% in some cases. Of course there are exceptions, depending on the coin or series. Others may dissagree.

Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.

PCGS will BB it and it will be a waste of good money
ANACS will slab it with a Details grade, and might sell better than keeping it raw
You'll get a little more for it if in is in an ANACS slab, but I am not sure it is worth the slabbing fees. (Sorry, but in my mind the answer is not clear-cut.)
If you are in no hurry to sell you might want to take it to a coin show and see what you are offered. Then if you are unsatisfied with the offers you receive send it to ANACS, get it slabbed, and put it up on eBay.

Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
Brown napkins work better BTW.

Did he know what he's talking about? is it worth it to even grade the coin now?

<< <i>I went to a local coin dealer today and he said it was fake because it looks 'pitted' I think. I looked through a loop at it and another trade dollar but I couldn't tell a difference.

Take it to a show and get a few more opinions. Sometimes harsh cleaning will cause minor pitting. Did you weigh your coin?
