Ballyhoo Pillar of the Community United States 1613 Posts	Posted 09/07/2020 10:21 am Myself, I like ANACS. While true, they do grade far more than any in details, straight grading has become much more consistent with the top two. Although I'm not a profession grader, looking at two exact grade coins side by side I rarely find a significant difference from one to the other. In short, I think ANACS is a fine grading services which has gotten both a bad reputation that is hard to overcome and have been the victim of aggressive corporate tactics by the top two.

Hidalgo Valued Member United States 216 Posts	Posted 09/07/2020 2:14 pm Seems like everyone here is in agreement that ANACS is better than ICG. And for the most part, ANACS grades just as well as PCGS and NGC. Why then, do coins graded by PCGS and NGC command higher secondary market / auction prices than ANACS? Report this Post to the Staff

Where do you get that? Yes for the super expensive coin the top 2 have cornered the market but for average coins, I never ever paid more for a graded coin than a raw coin. I've never paid more for an NGC or PGCS slab. I buy the coin. My Slabbed Dansco 7070 with Gold Page My Slabbed IHC Set My Slabbed 20th Century Type Set Report this Post to the Staff

That is really a broad based statement that is not necessarily so. IF a person buys the COIN and NOT the HOLDER There are many ANACS coins that will bring as much or more than any PCGS or NGC coins .

Hidalgo Valued Member United States 216 Posts	Posted 09/07/2020 2:32 pm I've seen, in general, higher prices on ebay for coins graded by PCGS and NGC than ANACS. Report this Post to the Staff

Again, what people ask and what it sells more isn't the same thing. I see higher prices all the time on ebay. If its an item that I like, I'll offer a price I fell is fair. I paid below the asking price on 75% of all my ebay purchases (even when make an offer is not listed).
