IMO, everyone talks about the ANACS slabs not selling as high as
PCGS or NGC.
I recently did a search on ebay. I was looking at common Morgan's
graded MS 65. I did not see a lot of difference in price, between
the top three TPG's.
But there is a lot of difference in the prices to have the coins
graded.
Right now you can send in 10 to 30 coins to ANACS for $11.90
for each coin. You will have to pay shipping and insurance going
to ANACS, the return shipping is included in the $11.90.
In my experience the average cost for NGS and PCGS is between
$30 and $40 dollars per coin. I do want to say, I like NGC a lot,
but there price are getting so high, it is making some coin not
be cost effective to send in.
Most times sending in a common Morgan, the coin will have
to grade at least MS 64 to make it worth the cost, and that
is depending on how much you paid to purchase the coin.
These numbers will be much different for better date Morgan's.
I sent in 10 coins to ANACS, and 10 this month. Last months coins
have come back. Of them three were common date Morgan's.
I thought all three had a chance at 64 or 65 grades. Two did
make MS65, but one only got MS63. Getting a MS63 means
I pretty much wasted the money I spent getting it graded.
I am glad I only wasted $13 instead of $35 NGC would have
cost me.
I am not sure I agree with the MS63 grade, or I would not
have sent it in. But ANACS is suppose to be known to
grade Morgan's accurately. I will look at it again in a
week or so, hoping to see what they are seeing.
I know this went on a little long ... I just hope it helps in your
decision on where to send your coins.
