Secret Argent Man Valued Member United States 320 Posts	Posted 05/04/2011 1:06 pm I've never had anything graded before, so I am new at this. There's an inherited 1909 S VDB I want to have authenticated. I don't care so much about the accuracy of grading or resale value, as this will never be sold except possibly among family. That's the agreement we all made, it stays in the family period. We just want to make sure it is genuine and have it in a nice holder so it stays in good shape. Assigning a grade is nice, but secondary. So with that said, I think my best bet is ANACS, right? I believe PCGS and NGC require you to be a member, and I'm just not sure that's worth it for me at this time... and I'm not sure I'd trust any of the other services, but am open to advice... thanks!

If it passes that test, then ANACS would probably be your least expensive option for certification. If you are an ANA member, you already have direct submission privileges to NGC.

Secret Argent Man Valued Member United States 320 Posts	Posted 05/04/2011 3:06 pm Thanks guys! I am 99% certain it is genuine but just wanted that extra assurance for estate purposes. I looked at the pcgs website with mintmarks, and it is definitively position #4... I'll try to post pics soon, probably on a different thread. Report this Post to the Staff
