you know I have sent Morgan dollars to TPG's that were graded MS-67 and above just to get the proper attribution on their slab and yet the most nervous I have ever become was when I sent in my 1955/1955 Lincoln Cent just because it was my grandfathers coin and even though I could easily replace it the sentimental value would have been lost forever |

I like ANACS. I sent coins to them back in January, and it took a solid two months to get my submission back. I repect their grading and I thought their customer service was extremely courteous. When they had trouble with their website checking for the status of the submission, there was one customer service person, I believe her name was Catherine who actually told me she would go check their vault to be sure my submission had made it to the grading room. I t wasn't soon after, that my submission was ready to be shipped.

I am a big fan of ANACS and I have full faith that they will resolve this problem to your full satisfaction. I think your reasons for getting your coins authenticated by a recognized TPG are very wise and valid. Good Luck. Mike  |

I have to agree with Mike I have had no worry when sending a coin to Anacs. I know it will be grade maybe not what I expected but I don't waste money in mailing fee to get it back with body bag memo.

I think there is a good chance you will get the coin back. What convinces me of this is quote:
I read the two numbers to him and his first question was "are you affiliated with so and so"? I said "who"? He replied "oh, it looks like your submission was included with so and so's order by mistake"...
So it sound like they know exactly who you coin was shipped to. Sothey jsut need to contact that submitter and explain the mistake and have the coin returned. (Theonly problem will be if it has been awhile since it was shipped and the person who got it didn't realize that it wasn't his and sold it. In that case I would think that ANACS owes you a replacement. |

Did you happen to ask them what grade they came up with that way you would know what the value was ?

I have some inexpensive coins that I submitted to ANACS to their old address because that was what they had on their website. My coins were forwarded to the new site in Colorado. Seems like it took and inordinate amount of time but they included a coupon for grading of two coins if I want to be used by the end of Dec. 2008. As far as I know the website still doesn't work to track your submission. I don't think that the transmission went well but they are getting on top of everything. I don't think he is looking for a fancy plastic container just to prove what he already knows. I believe that Jim has submitted to help his wife in the event that he is deceased before her. A loving gesture on his part if you were to ask me. The only other time I've known of a mixup and I don't recall the TPG was an 1877 IH where the submitter received a lesser grade !877 IH in return but it was straightened out and he received his submission back. I know it's hard but hang in there and see what comes out. |

Shamrock, The situation you mention underscores how important it's for collectors to document their coins prior to shipping to a TPG. I'm planning to take detailed photos before I ship off coins. Edited by KurtS

Kurt S,
The fellow I refered to in my previous post had taken pictures. It's probably been 5 years now since it happened. When businesses change hands many but not all times, it's not good. I don't think that ANACS buyout was for the wrong reasons but the day to day operations are probably being handled by the inexperienced not the grading. The dust will settle and and things should start operating on an even keel.

It's been 12 days now since ANACS discovered they sent your coin to the wrong person. Have you heard anything more from them? If not I think I would be back on the phone to them.
