Hello,

I am going to a coin show where ANACS (maybe others) will be. I have a few coins I'd like to submit. How does it work? Do you just give them the coins on site and pick up the same day? Do they have to be packaged in any particular way? This will be the Vegas show in December if that matters.

Thanks!

Walk up to ANACS. Table at the Vegas show and Cindy or Paul will be more than willing to help you with everything. Super friendly, both of them. They will take cash credit card or check.

I haven't done on-site ANACS. With PCGS and NGC, you fill out the submission form, placing each raw coin into a single clear plastic flip, and writing a number on it with a sharpie that matches the number on the form where you are filling in the coin's info. Once you've done all that (including separate forms for different categories/submission types) they take the coins and you pay. If they are offering on-site, you come back usually the last two days of the show and pick them up, and you're done. If it is just on-site submission only, they get graded back at the TPG and shipped to you like normal.

There are, at times, upcharges for on-site grading, so I usually won't get coins on-site graded unless it's something that really justifies the expense.

Just like what Adam said, you pay, they grade, and it is quick. So, It costs more.

Call ANACS. As far as I know they do not do on-site grading. They accept submissions and bring them back to the office to grade.
