Just got an email from ANACS about a grading special. Two free grades if sent in by 7/4. Edited by edweather

I got that same Email.
I have been wanting to send some coins into ANACS,
just for the experience. I will have to pick out
a couple of coins for this special.
I wonder if I can do a separate submission sheet
and send in more coins, in the same box?

When I first read the OP I thought... "AWESOME I have a few 62's I'd like to be 64's"... LOL

Yes you can send in more along with the form. Just print a copy of the deal and put it in the box. Then denote on their order form which coins you want them to grade for free.

Is there a way to track the coins sent into ANACS?

I think when they receive them they will post it on their site under your account info. and you can track the progress from there.

Nice coins, thanks for sharing.
Can I ask, did you have to pay extra to have the
variety done?
And is that 1861 O ... the speared bud?
------------------------------------------------------
I keep checking my account/order status.
They have had my coins for 17 days ... all it says is
Processing - Grading.
Getting excited about how the coins I sent in will grade.

If you have something valuable and want to have it properly graded with an eye to reselling it someday, DO NOT send it to ANACS - this is the amateur's choice.  |

I got mine back yesterday. That was fast, thanks for sharing. Quote:

GR58 - Perhaps you're right. Maybe I should have said "the gambler's choice." Anyone who has spent any time examining slabs has seen the remarkable swings and inconsistencies in ANACS standards over the past 25 years. There is a very good reason why ANACS discounts its prices and why ANACS slabs are not sold by many major auction houses. They are essentially unreliable, taken over a long history. No offense intended.  |

This post is about two free submissions that ANACS offered late June. All you have to pay is shipping and Ins. Having coins graded ... Even by ANACS , make them sell better on ebay. When a amateur like myself does the math, certain coin will sell at a standard level. Bidders like bidding on coins that have been authenticated. Using PCGS or NGC for certain coins will eat up around $30 of potential profit, vs ANACS. One of the coins I sent in, I had already sent into NGC, they would not grade it. I am hoping ANACS will. For me, of the 75 to 100 slabs I have, most of them are NGC. But I think not using all the available option in this hobby is wrong. Useing ANACS to authenticate coins, when they have a good promotion works for me. Also ANACS is very good a grading Morgan dollars. Taking us back to ...buy the coin, not the holder. |

Anything that you get "for free" will not have much value down the road. ANACS preys on the intermediate-level collector looking for a bargain slab (with little resale value). If that works for you, fine. Ask any experienced collector or dealer what he/she thinks of ANACS in the open market. You get what you pay for. Edited by Coinfrog
