I'm not sending in my FS nickels to NGC unless they allow ANACS.......

I'm not sending in my FS nickels to NGC unless they allow ANACS graded coins into the their registry! And I'm a strong believer that the coins in other holders that are already allowed into the registry be subjected to reevaluation to NGC's grading standards! For the time being, only Pcgs graded coins are allowed into NGC's registry.

I believe many collectors would like to participate in the registry if they can keep their coins in the ANACS holder. Why? Because I can't believe I'm the only one that may be having a problem with this, The fact that the expenditures of having coins certifed total up very fast is a very good reason why ANACS graded coins should be allowed into the NGC registry.

And another good reason is the fear and risk of mishap that may occur when having the coins cracked out for crossover grading. I have seen coins that have suffered from shattering splints of plastic during the crach out process.

Of course there's the old argument that ANACS graded coins are usually a half point in difference's in grading with the other two TGCs.

And there's the problem of establishing a computer number system that would allow the ANACS coins to uploaded into the registry. And I'm confident that there's a simple remedy out there somewhere that could easily fix this problem. Heck, my son could probably do it!

Even if the cost of providing such a service would be equal to doing a crossover, I believe it would be worth it.

Perhaps there's a way to etch or print a number on the ANACS slab that would allow the coin into the registry.

Here's another idea that has just entered my "BRAIN"! Why not establish a label number system that can be applied to the outside of the slab. This label numbering system needs to be personalized so that it can only be used once by that person who paid for that label. No-one else can use the number except the person who paid for it. A label number that has been applied to a collector's coin can only be used by the owner of that label. The label number can only be used to upload a coin into the registry one time only. The number could not be used twice as it would be detected by a computer system and the number can only be used once, once it has been used to enter a coin into the registry, it can not be used anymore after that. Man! How many times could I say that!

The bottom line is, I just don't believe it should be necessay for a collector to have to spend more money on coins that have already been certified and slabbed. And I believe that there are many other collectors that feel the same way. A lot of us collectors out here aren't rich, rolling in money, let me remind everyone!

The basic reason for having the registry is to allow collectors to share their collections with fellow collectors but lets find an easier way for this proccess to happen. I would also like to see some bulk discount rates for orders less than 100 coins, Let's find a reasonable rate for 25 to 50 coins!

the main problem with ANACS is that the net grade.. I know that is what people are going to say... I would like to See ANACS as well in it... but heh.. wishfull thinking...

I third the motion to have ANACS added.............I trust their grading and it would be nice to have one Registy that all of my graded coins could gain entry too

[James_OldeTowne]

You are probably right, but that's too bad. Many coins are virtually unavailable except in "net-graded" holders. 1799 large cents come to mind.

 

I'm not a fan of registry sets personally, but for those collectors who are participants, it makes sense that if NGC allows PCGS coins in, ANACS would be a natural next step.

1) There's a bias of perception at work here. The perception is that ANACS is less consistent and, at least historically, has looser standards for grading than NGC and PCGS. These perceptions are expressed over and over again in the marketplace - ANACS graded coins sell consistently for less money than NGC or PCGS graded coins, like it or not. For every example of how an ANACS graded coin traded for equal money, there are at least 10 examples where one did not.

 

2) They do not have an electronic system for verifying cert numbers. Granted, Leo, your kid could probably make such a database, as they are not hard to make, but it would require ANACS to spend their money doing it. They won't.

 

3) As Bruce mentioned, their "net grades" present a difficulty, although with a proper database, this would not be an issue. Net graded coins could be noted and simply rejected by a registry.

 

Anyhow, I'd suggest doing what jom, Jeremy, and Bruce have done and display your coins on a server with nice photos and a description. You make your own registry. It's the cheapest solution and quite effective. Place a link in your signature line to direct people to your sets.

That's what I want to do, but since I have no background in HTML........this one's going to take me a little time. I'll have to e-mail one of the folks you mentioned and ask them what server they are located on.....and possible programs to get me started................................................................my toned morgan set deserves a place to be worshiped!!!!!

Link Of course, it's still in the works!

I wouldn't even care if the coins were totaled for points. Just to be able to upload pics, descriptions and grades would do it for me!

You could always petition ANACS to start their own registry........

 

 

They need a touch of updating as it is. This could force their hand.

 

I like ANACS, but they need a little marketing help to expand their "presence". My opinion.

[Oldtrader3]

I agree with Hoot and think that there is still a bias against ANACS. I have owned several ANACS graded coins and still own two of their slabbed coins. Both of these coins would not equal the assigned ANACS grade at NGC/PCGS, but I did not pay NGC/PCGS pricing for them. They would both grade just below the ANACS cert with a NGC submission.

 

The dilema with these coins is that they both are better date coins and would probably sell for more as graded by ANACS than if I had them graded lower by NGC.

I don't think that the idea would work because of net grading. I would much rather have a problem free XF coin than one with uncirculated details but net graded to XF. This is why I don't trust ANACS graded coins much.
