Susanlynn9 Forum Mom United States 5877 Posts	Posted 11/12/2006 10:56 am Very nice find! To send it to ANACS, you need to put it in a polybag and then put that into a 2-1/2 x 2-1/2 flip. Do not staple or tape the flip. I usually send my coins to them Priority Mail. Be sure to insure this coin even if you send it that way. If you need polybags or flips, I have some around somewhere. We're still unpacking. I should be able to send you what you need. Just email me. You should go to their website at http://www.anacs.com/ for their current pricing. I haven't sent anything in for a while. Their phone number is 800-888-1861. Report this Post to the Staff

You have to understand, they're conscious of "creating value" by the grades they give coins. They have no wish, down the road, to have their reputation tarnished by having to make good on a valuable coin which is proven artificially toned or cleaned when they've certified it as OK. Regardless of anyone's specific opinions regarding grading consistency, the major TPG's do the crucial service of authenticating coins, and especially given the recent upheavals regarding AT coins, you can rest assured that they're treading very softly indeed with regard to surface authenticity nowadays. Swanie1, I believe that both of your coins deserve to be in a slab, especially the nicer one. Here's everything you need to know about submitting to ANACS: http://www.anacs.com/Default.aspx?P...SubTopicID=1 Report this Post to the Staff
Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 11/12/2006 12:58 pm I would definately send these coins to ANACS because you know they will get in a slab which means they will be authenticated (which could add thousands and thousands to the value of the coin on the open market) and if it happens to get in a ANACS slab that states it is problem free and then you would still like to try it at PCGS just send it in for crossover (sometimes with a coin of this date/mintmark it is worth to send to PCGS for crossover even after you have paid submission fee's at ANACS and PCGS because the money some people pay for PCGS coins are much greater than what they will pay for ANACS graded coins)but just getting them authenticated in a problem holder by ANACS with a coin like yours would be the key to selling the coin for what its even close to being worth Report this Post to the Staff
