always beware of any slab that is not PCGS, NGC, ANACS, ICCS, and I'll be generous and say ICG.


ICG is honestly better than ANACS at this point. ICCS is fine for Canadian coins if someone was looking at those but I would treat anything that wasn't Canadian as raw

Strongly disagree. I have seen too much pure crap in their holders. If they are trying to turn things around, I haven't seen it come through on my end yet. At least for the series I follow.

Send stuff into them recently you might be surprised. The only reason I started using ICG over ANACS on stuff not worth the PCGS fee was because of how all over the place ANACS had been. Neither are a teir one company on the TPG hierarchy but between the two the stronger graders are in Tampa in my opinion and I'm a full on convert to them over ANACS for the lower value stuff.

Also ICG wont take two months to grade your coins when you use a special

I've come to learn that basebal is usually spot on with his TPG advice. Not sure how he knows so much about them but he seems to know his stuff.

@Baseball, sounds you had an efficiency problem with ANACS. Makes sense. Understood on the lower value end of the spectrum. Hairs stand up on the back of my neck when I see a Seated dollar in one of their holders. An auction company had one of those a week ago. Said he was debating whether to crack it out but decided against it for fear of problems being discovered. I can't remember what it sold for but it was well under market value. Thing is, it had pretty toning.
