I would honestly feel sick to my stomach if I waited and found out it was fake before I sold it. The question I really have though is if there is a price difference in a NGC/PCGS coin compared to an ANACS graded coin if its obvious that its graded the same as any other company would.

Unfortuately yes. I've mentioned this many times. At coin shows I've heard dealers many times say "Of course this one cost more. It's in a PCGS slab"
NGC also does bring a bit of a premium but for now you just can't beat that PCGS name. Very possibly makes no difference in the coins but it is sort of like buying a Farrari. The name alone means more money.
Same with many items. If you hear the name Nicon in cameras the normal reaction is great product and expensive.

I wouldn't give Two Cents for a Nicon or a Nikon camera. But with the older German Leica camers, now you are speaking quality!

But Carl, your point is well taken, and you're right... the name is everything!

I have seen one week everyone is NGC the next, it is PCGS. As for me, if I plan to crack it out, then I go with ANACS. ANACS are easier to crack out and less expensive. If I plan to keep it for later resell or long term, than it is PCGS or NGC.

Some TPG have similar initials to try to confuse you into thinking that they are Tier 1.

Rest in Peace

AGFA film.

I haven't heard that one for a while since I left my job 10 years+ ago. If you can still find them in normal usage.

AGFA film was too unstable batch to batch for professional use. Kodak was the clear leader for colour photography and Ilford for B&W work (Ilford used more silver).
