I know it's probably anecdotal, but I do a lot of searching on ebay, and I just never come across pennies in yellow/blue ANACS holders higher than 65. It seems like that is the max grade they want to give out. I see PCGS and NGC 67s all over the place. Maybe it's just because it's more cost effective to send the really good ones to PCGS/NGC, but still you would think some people would still use ANACS.
Also, when I did my submission a few months ago, I thought their grading was pretty conservative. I think I have read that some people think they are more lenient nowadays, but I did not find that to be the case in my experience. In my opinion, PCGS and ANACS are equally conservative, and NGC is the lenient one.
