Now the waiting game starts  On 6/10/2013 or maybe one day sooner I will be getting my Gold coin back in hands. I don't know what grade but I will make my guess AU-55. I am not sure if there IS wear or not on the flowers. Here's the email from ANACS: Quote:
Josh,
Thank you for the submission. Your coin is scheduled to ship on 6/6 (15 business days or about three weeks). Everything appears to be on-time. Please let us know if you need anything else. The coin:    The pictures are up! Edited by solotime

Dave, now the links work right. You could view them and guess the grade it will come back :)

Tough call from the pics. They may grade it an AU-53. Good luck!

@coinman, because I was an idiot in such a hurry.
I should have went with PCGS. It costed me 46 dollars just for one coin...
@doubl3eagle, even if so, that's not bad :)
I planning on buying a new gold coin soon. (maybe, it's really all depends if 300 can get one)

Considering everything else (shipping, insurance) is the same, the cheapest grading cost for this coin is $19 at ANACS and $32 at PCGS. Higher tiers are similar in comparison. PCGS has its' advantages but cost is not one of them. |

The advantages of PCGS come into play if you want to sell or if you want to participate in a registry. If you are not concerned about those things, then the price savings is worth it.

Nice looking quarter eagle. One of my favorite coins.

Love that coin... I don't think AU55 is unreasonable. Good luck.

@SsuperDdave, I should have explained better. Sorry about that.
What I was trying to say was, wouldn't it cost almost just as much for PCGS? Because the 1 year member ship for PCGS gives 4 free gradings. The cost in $129 dollars. I have a 1973-s proof ike I would like graded. Also a few other coins. They not really big value ones but they would mostly make high grades and be worth more. But anyway I picked ANACS. I'm not going to complain anymore about it, I still like ANACS.
@usc96, Thanks! I bought it because it was the only one my dealer had. He has some nice 5 dollar ones but I can't afford them.
@BamaBlue, I seen a MS-61 look just like mine! But the problem is, I can't tell if mine has wear or not. Because the pictures aren't the best.

ANACS sent the coin to me,but I missed the FedEx truck. They put a door tag to let me know. I will have to wait later to get the coin.

Congrats on the return of your coin. Good to know it is genuine and uncleaned. I do think they were a bit tough on the grade, thought for sure you would have gotten a 53 or 55 for this one.

I thought it would be AU-53. I wish I was able to open it without seeing the paper. They put a paper inside that said the grade. So once I saw that, it wasn't that exciting to see the coin. I say they done a great job. No problems listed about the coin. It has a few light scratches but nothing wrong with it. *added* You know what's funny? ANACS gave me three submission forums  Edited by solotime

ANACS seems to be a decent grading firm, I just don't care for the shape of their slabs.
