Why ngc, is it a better company? Do you think it will make the ms65 grade?

Ngc is a better company. I say it will go 65. Also, PCGS coins sell about for about 9% less than NGC.

I like it and would love to see more light on the lower half of the obverse to better examine the cheek/chin. Small ANACS holders are usually accurate grade-wise.

Also, unless you have are a member of PCGS, you have to find a PCGS dealer or pay $100 for a 1 yr membership.

DeodatusAlp2002, where do you get the numbers to support your statement that PCGS coins sell for 9% less than NGC coins?

Um, no. Same coin, same grade, will be worth more on average in a pcgs slab than ngc. It's just the way the market perception is... With this coin I would go ngc because you have a better shot at getting it to cross at 65. Pcgs tends to be a more strict at grading especially when it comes to 64 or 65. Plus ngc is cheaper and it still has a $1700 +/- liquidity value in ngc. Oh and you can buy an ANA membership for $30 that comes with ngc submiting privileges if you don't have the $150 to spend on becoming a member. But you do get the $150 back in voucher form to apply to grading costs. If you have more coins you want to get graded I'd buy the $150 membership. |

I would send it to PCGS. Why do anything half way? That is not my style.
If you are not a PCGS member, I would gladly submit it for you.

I like it right where it is. Enjoy it for a while. If you plan on selling it, you can list it in it's current holder. There are plenty of people that like the older ANACS holders. If you can't get your price, and you feel the holder is hold(er)ing you back, you can always send it in. Nice coin.

I've been able to find such beautiful coins in old ANACS holders that I go out of my way to find more. They were some strict puppies when they were using the small size slabs.

This coin is one of the later small ANACS holders with the black hologram sticker. I have had middling luck with these holders. The older ANA holders are strict, though, and I've found several undergraded Morgans in those holders, cracked them, and resubmitted to PCGS and had them cross at grade, and in several instances, upgrade. One was an 1891-CC that was graded 63, PCGS graded it 64+. Quite a bump in value. However, my luck with the later holders hasn't been anywhere near as good. If I recall correctly, these small holders were produced up to 2004 or thereabouts, well after ANACS had started to loosen their standards a little bit. The original posters slab appears to be one of the later-dated slabs from the lack of the barcode on front, so I would estimate it was slabbed and graded no earlier than 2002, whereas the ANA slabs date to the 1980's, prior to Amos Press taking over. |

I'm going to shop it around at the Louisville coin show in September. The coin has gorgeous toning and a gorgeous reverse...obverse is stout too.
I sell it on two conditions, one being it fetched at least $1400, and two being I found another comparable 78cc ms65. The later part would be very tough, especially in that price range. I think the reverse is ms 66 and obverse is ms 65, that's my opinion. I may get $1700 out of it at the coin show, but don't want to sell it.

Just another reminder of why ANACS slabs should never be taken at face value. Looking back at it's history, the company is basically a wandering carnival show, with different standards used at different times as the company changed hands - all the while reminding us that they were the "original" grading company.

I agree with Cascade on this one; totally accurate assessment.
