Well, they are stating now that it is ready to ship! My credit card has been charged for the full amount.They haven't given me a grade yet, but they assigned it a number, denomination, and date....so I think it's safe to say that they agree with the diagnostics.   At least I think that is evidence that it is genuine..  I hope it's not like NGC where they still give you a number, date and denomination and send it home in a body bag as altered. I also thought I was supposed to get grades online...hmm. Well, God gave me lots of patience, I just haven't used any yet. Edited by johnny54321

Well start using what God gave you dude! I think its a positive sign that they've labeled it 1916 on there. But hey - we all knew that anyway.......its just a question of FR02 or AG03.

darn, was hoping you would get a 3 :( Don't worry about it. I'm more than happy with a 2(problem free). It's definitely a strong 2, but I was more concerned as to whether or not it would receive a "details" grade due to the scratches. It may have been close to AG, and they silently netted it to an FR because of the scratches. I would much rather have a problem free FR2 than an AG3 details grade, and I think that's what my coin deserves. I just wish I could confirm it as problem free...I could call them but I'l probably just practice my patience and wait till it gets here. Yours on the other hand, Nod, has a much better chance at a 3 due to your stronger reverse. However, I should note that PCGS graded a dateless 16 recently(it was on ebay) at FR02 that was stronger than both of our coins........so I'd say you have a 50/50 shot at a 3. However, this should be confirmation that ANACS does still grade these, so you can expect good news!     I should also note that I'm impressed with the speed of ANACS 5 day walkthrough service, since they got her done in 4. Edited by johnny54321

It's definitely a strong 2 That made me chuckle. The opposite of that is a weak MS-68. |

Nice and congratulations! The scratches seem acceptable for the grade level.  |

Well, I gave in and called them..lol. It is a straight FR02 in a problem free slab. Real friendly customer service! Quote:

Excellent - congrats! thanks! It should be back by friday according to the tracking. I'm amazed at how fast the entire process was, especially after hearing all of the delay horror stories. Next question is whether or not I should sell it to put money towards a higher grade.... |

I think you should keep it, unless you find another dateless 16, or already have one.

I think you should keep it to go long with the story on how you aquired it.

You know he's looking........ who, me?  why would I want ANOTHER one of these beat to death slicks? |
