1916 D Merc Valued Member United States 459 Posts	Posted 08/04/2015 6:09 pm I got a package of 4 coins I had sent in about 4 weeks ago and I was pretty surprised with some of the grades... I submitted two Morgans, and 1881-S and an 1890-S, a friend of mine agreed that the 90-S was a slider and could go 58 or 63-64, and it came back 58. (I was fine with taking that risk)... However, this 1881-S( https://goccf.com/t/234706 ) Came back as a 61... I was really shocked with this one.. That just really stunned me.. The other 2 coins I submitted were a 42/1 Mercury dime that the CCF graded as a VF and it came back as a VF30.. I was fine with that. A 1857 flying Eagle that was bought as XF came back a 50. The 61 on the 81-S just really surprised me.. I guess rant is over Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 08/04/2015 6:18 pm As often stated before, sending coins to ANACS is a crapshoot. They show no consistency coin-to-coin, much less over a long period of time. They charge less because their opinion is worth less - far less. Report this Post to the Staff

moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 08/04/2015 7:10 pm I like ANACS if I'm doing varieties. Other than that, it's about the only time I use them. I DO look at them at shows because for the series I'm familiar with I've picked out a good number that came back better grade from NGC. Only got burned once with a 1855 3 Cent silver that ANACS had graded 62 and NGC said 55. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 08/04/2015 7:26 pm Oh, I definitely agree! It is the pitiful insonsistency of ANACS slabs that leaves them ripe for the picking. Complete irony, but that's why I always check ANACS slabs first to look for bargains. Report this Post to the Staff
Slider23 Pillar of the Community United States 4469 Posts	Posted 08/04/2015 8:25 pm I went back and look at the CCF comments on the 1881 S coin. The coin had some mirror fields and these coins show all bag marks and the coin in grading was most likely was docked because of the noticeable bag marks. I looked at the cheek bag marks and I could see the coin at MS62, but it does not look MS61. Sorry, I was part of the MS64 group, but I did not think the coin was PL. Grading from photo is fun, but can not replace grading the coin in hand. Report this Post to the Staff
1916 D Merc Valued Member United States 459 Posts	Posted 08/04/2015 8:38 pm Yes it was a bad surprise.. I agree that the coin is not a 65 and I don't believe it to be a 62.. I was really surprised with the 61. 62 I would've said "Okay.. they were tough cause this is an easy date in MS" but I was blown away when it got a 61... Hmm.. That's interesting moxking... I'll certainly check them out at the next show. I only submitted to ANACs because I had a coupon for two free submissions. Report this Post to the Staff
