I have 2 coins out at ANACS. I usually check each day on the progress and usually the first 2 weeks it is "In Grading". Not much changes til the 3rd week. I checked a few days ago and grades were posted and one coin was listed as MS63 in the finalizing category. I checked 1 day later and it was in shipping (pending) but now had a grade of MS64. I am not complaining  , just wondering how that would happen? |

Just hope it arrives as a 64.  |

If ANACS operates like PCGS and NGC (and in general I don't see any reason it doesn't ) coins are independently examined by 2-3 graders.
Then they are passed on for finalization (master grader?).
He/She makes the final decision particularly if there wasn't agreement among the initial graders.
THAT could be where your grade got changed.
Or it could have been a typo.

Kaanga has it right. Finalizer probably changed it.

Ya, my guess is the finalizer "finalized" it lol... I just checked my anacs sub and no grades posted yet but it's changed to "Consult". Must be due to the unlisted kennedy DDO and 42p war nick that was in it... Wonder who they're consulting with |

Ok thanks for the info. I always thought the coins were looked at by a few graders and if there was a large enough difference a 3rd person would come to a decision.
Maybe one had MS-63 and another grader had it MS-65? The consensus here at CCF was MS65 on the coin.
I will post the slab in the grading topic when it comes back ( it's the 1930-S quarter)

Imo, it doesn't make sense they would post a grade until they were sure about it. I'm thinking typo more than anything, and someone caught it.

I had a similar incident with ICCS. I received a letter from them before coins arrived and coin in question was graded as a MS64 which I was happy with but when coins arrived it was a MS60 a BIGGGG drop from what they stated. I called Brian and he checked and got back to me with an explanation that they made a typo error and the graded on the little baggie is correct and they weren't going to change it. I stayed away from them for a long time after that and used PCGS but still use ICCS for some of my grading but not as much as I did in the past, that was a costly mistake and I feel they should have made it right.

I had the same experience using ANACS for some GSA dollars. One was listed MS-62 when I initially checked the site for updates. I didn't check back but when I received the shipment there were none graded below MS-63.

I sent a 1916 Matte Proof Lincoln to P*** 4 times (3 raw, once for reconsideration) and received the same grade each time : PR65RB ... sold it through the H******* auction based in D*****, T**** last year ... it's back this year (probably sold by now, if you're a "member" check the auction archives, it's the rainbow toned well struck specimen) , at PR66RB with CAC... I'm already really unhappy so I didn't look to see what it sold for recently !
