always beware of any slab that is not PCGS, NGC, ANACS, ICCS, and I'll be generous and say ICG. Anything else should be treated worse than raw.

45. Nicely struck specimen from first decade of the no mint. IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Send stuff into them recently you might be surprised. The only reason I started using ICG over ANACS on stuff not worth the PCGS fee was because of how all over the place ANACS had been. Neither are a teir one company on the TPG hierarchy but between the two the stronger graders are in Tampa in my opinion and I'm a full on convert to them over ANACS for the lower value stuff. Also ICG wont take two months to grade your coins when you use a special Edited by basebal21

I've come to learn that basebal is usually spot on with his TPG advice. Not sure how he knows so much about them but he seems to know his stuff. |

@Baseball, sounds you had an efficiency problem with ANACS. Makes sense. Understood on the lower value end of the spectrum. Hairs stand up on the back of my neck when I see a Seated dollar in one of their holders. An auction company had one of those a week ago. Said he was debating whether to crack it out but decided against it for fear of problems being discovered. I can't remember what it sold for but it was well under market value. Thing is, it had pretty toning. Edited by MikeF
