The $45.00 fee was so that they would do extensive research, which they didn't. Said it was a triple strike and they didn't even take the time to check. There are 2 heads on the front and a head on the back. Tell me how I can take a decent picture through the slab and I will post it. My post was that I'm gun shy of all graders right now because ANACS has had this coin twice and have missed it both times. Ridiculous

What I do is put a piece of felt(usually grey) if you don't have felt the inside backing of a cereal box does well too. Put this down slightly elevated off of a table directly under a well lit light source and put the coin down in the same manner(slightly elevated). This is what I do and it takes the glare off the slab. Hope that helps. Can't wait to see the coin! swcoin.ecrater.com

I have to throw our Two Cents in about SGS. This past weekend, we went to visit my ( Louis ) mom who is getting up in years. Therse an antique store not far from her house and Marlene and I go there to see some of the coins that they sell there. We had bought an SGS graded 1974-S Ike graded at MS-70. When I looked at the coin, It wasnt coming to mind that an MS70 coin is suppose to be flawless. There are a couple of hairlines on the coin. I myself would grade the coin as MS65, maybe 63. Were just that much smarter now about SGS. My wife and I have talked about us grading coins for ourselves and for others, and not rip people off or gouging them. We just want to help people out. And were learning as we go along, but were not afraid to take the chances or the risks to help ourselves and others. Thanks for hearing us out. Marlene & Louis |

As far as pictures through a slab, just try to cut down on reflection, no flash, and straight onto the coin. As close as you can get with good lighting will be key since we are looking for strike issues. It may be hard to get decent pictures at first, but you will get them eventually. |

Wowser. I've been researching this; there are apparently a few error coins - brockages and double strikes - for this date. I'm not going to blindly defend ANACS here, but I can see how a grade might hold this coin and say, "What?" to himself. However, having decided it was genuine, it's obviously worthy of significant research to try and determine what got it to this point. I infer that ANACS does consider this coin genuine? Wander over to EACS - https://www.http://www.eacs.org/, and click the bottom link (Directory of Officers). Find the Chairman for your geographical region, and email them about this coin. |

In the two times ANACS has graded this coin, its never been questioned whether it is genuine or not. This is why I paid $44.00 on the second grade for research to be done and they did nothing.

And thus proves my point on how Marlene and I would like to help people out by grading and taking advantage or ripping people off. But its our dream. Sooner or later, by the grace of God, we'll get there. But it does sound like a really cool coin. Would love to see it.

Sorry... that should have read, "By NOT taking advantage or ripping people off." My fat little fingers were going faster than what my mind was trying to say. Sorry.

I don't see any evidence of a triple strike, and as I said in the other thread this is a normal strike struck over a full OBVERSE brockage, not a reverse brockage. (Of course they could be calling it a reverse brockage because the reverse of the original strike was a brockage. (Terminology is a bit muddled. Do you name it based on which die design is incuse, or which side of the coin the incuse image appear on? I believe standard procedure is which design is incuse.)
