I've just been trying to sign up as an ANACS insider as well and had the same trouble as jack jeckel. Got to the last step and got an error message.
I thought it might be because I'm in Australia.
I've recently picked up some Morgans I want graded and ANACS seems like the most reasonably priced service. Gunna cost me a fortune in shipping anyway. I have to guesstime the prices I think the coins are worth on their shipping form. A bit bizarre.
As third party graders go I know PCGS and NGC are considered good but is ANACS also up there?

Well, a little update from my last post... That all worked out.. I emailed ANACS (a while ago now) and they said I had just made the promo! So I got my two free submitions!! Yeah!! Gweidion, Yes, ANACS is one of the "top 3" in the U.S. along with PCGS and NGC. Many people prefer them with Morgan's as they attribute all of the VAM's while the other two only do select ones. I find there grading to be quite accurate as well, although I have to say I prefer there old small holders, I'm not really a fan of the new ones... I like NGC's and PCGS's better.

Brilliant thank you NathanASE. I'll definitely send my submission to them as some of my Morgans have supposedly got different VAMs. Once I get them back I'll try out the board's skills at grading from photos against what ANACS comes up with but that will be months away.

Quote: as some of my Morgans have supposedly got different VAMs. Just so you know you have to pay extra for them to research/attribute the VAM's on the label. For the regular price they'll only grade them with no mention of the VAM. And also, in case you don't know.. All Morgan's are one VAM or another, most are quite common... While others are quite rare and insanely pricy. If you post good/detailed pics of both sides, with a close up on the date and the mint mark we can tell you what VAM's you have, and if they would be worth attributing on the label. Out of curiosity what Morgan's are you sending? And what are you thinking they'll grade? (Morgan's are my bread and butter.. What I primary collect, so I'm just curious)

My purchases are coming from an estate sales person. Seems very reasonable and the couple of latest estates have had nice coins. I've probably paid too much over all but always wanted some Morgans. I'll try to post some pictures for you. I have no idea what they will grade for, I'll rely on ANACS to sort that for me. Whilst I can get some pictures I have difficulty uploading them to the board as there is a size limitation of 100k per picture. I'll see what I can do. None of mine will be "rare" or "expensive" ones.

It's okay, got it to load properly. I've got one for you to look at. I should probably start a new topic before adding any more to this topic. Any suggestions where to post?

oih82w8:
That was essentially the whole point of the submission. The coin looks like a crusty chocolate chip cookie in hand. At least now it is sealed and protected in a slab and the rare date is clearly stated for all to see.
