As with any slabbed coin regardless of the grading service one has to look at the coin and decide whether it makes the grade or not. ICG from my experience is fairly accurate most of the time just like PCGS and NGC. I bought a 1959 Franklin half dollar that ICG graded MS-65 and the owner didn't notice it had the Double Die Reverse. I cracked it out and sent it in to NGC for the error attribution and they graded it MS-65 also but said they didn't recognize the error so it wasn't attributed on the label. Ticked me off since PCGS does recognize the DDR for this date.
I don't care for ANACS graded coins solely because I don't like the look of their slabs. I suppose I should pay more attention to the coins in them since it is possible to get a really nice accurately graded coin at a discount because of the holder then crack it out and sell it sans holder for the same grade.
