I just sent off my first batch to ANACS. Does anyone know about how long it takes for the Economy Special (10 for $100) to turn these coins? I certainly realize that there are others who paid more for more expedient service, but realistically, hopefully by Thanksgiving?

I sent a batch in earlier this year when the same special was running. I don't have my records in front of me but think it took 6 weeks between the time I shipped & when I got them back. My next batch I sent economy($14?/coin) & it took almost 8 weeks. The third & final batch had some higher dollar coins so I had to send them through the 15 day service.....& they got them in the mail 17 business days after they received them even though the website was proclaiming a 13 day turn around.

Although I was satisfied with their grading I wasn't happy at all with turn around times.

Were they good at keeping you updated on the progress (either email or web based info)?

They post online when they get the coins, where they are in the grading process & when they ship. All 3 times I sent them coins they posted within a couple days that they had received the coins. On 2 out of 3 times I had the coins in hand before they posted that they were shipped.

I only send coins in to be graded if I have an authenticity issue and/or if I am going to sell. I would probably use Anacs again because they are a respected TPG & their prices are reasonable despite what I consider slow service & lack of info. I haven't tried any of the other TPG's except for a group submission a few years ago. I have talked with a couple other forum members that weren't extremely happy with the length of time it took other TPG's to grade their coins.

overall not bad. At least it's a reputable and recognized TPG.

Update to the update... I just checked ANACS.com and I have Items Numbers along with the Coin Description;

444XXXX 1835 1/2C
444XXXX
444XXXX
444XXXX
444XXXX
444XXXX
444XXXX
444XXXX
444XXXX
444XXXX
444XXXX
444XXXX 1884 CC $



I guess that they have gone through the graders, but I do not see the end results (grade/details/etc...). Is there a way to look up the item numbers to see the net results, before I receive them in hand?

I called their 1-800 number and they sent me the grades via email...win some (better than I figured grades) lose some (7 problem free, 5 had issues; cleaned, scratched, and recolored). It's all good!

I will post them under the "You vs. ANACS", should be fun as always!

I received them back today via FedEx, the slabs were placeed into a divided cardboard box, no plastic divided holder like PCGS or NGC. It was scheduled to ship out on 17 Nov, got 'em back a week early.
