What makes you say ANACS? The slab and title doesn't say that.

It looks like the older ANACS slabs, I've had a few of them.

To me it just looks like a slab you can buy empty at the coin shop. I think the slab says raw coin uncertified on the front.

Yeah, it raised an alarm with me, but people have to watch out because those really do look like the older ANACS slabs. The real small ones, if you know what I mean. Some results are present in google images.
It's probably purposefully trying to imitate it.

Yeah definitely a fake slab, you can just barely make out "RAW COIN UNCERTIFIED" if you zoom in.

However, back to your question. VF-20? Not sure since I'm a lousy grader but to me sure looks better than VF-20.

According to every grading guide I have ever read, Seated coins need a full readable liberty to even make "fine". I would grade that coin as a VG at best. |

Not ANACS and yes, if that coin is VF20, then I am Santa! VG at best.

It fooled me at first glance too. It does look similar to an old ANACS slab.

Some of the grades these salesmen give on e-bay are sadly hilarious. I've seen beat up g4 IHC's called "very fine". We've all seen it. Really what percentage of ebay grades do you think are accurate? 50%? less? |

As I mentioned I'm a lousy coin grader but the reverse on that one sort of looks really nice. I'd say VF-20 but from what everyone else says, I'm way off on that one.

vg from here, and the seller sounds like a nutcase, not to mention that "description" prolly doesn't pass ebay muster. |

Here's one from NGC VF barber that caught me by surprise, fortunately the seller agreed that it was overgraded. Not "overgraded", "market" graded. |
