    I sent them a 1909 s vdb penny for authentication and grading. I purchased it at a coin show for $ 1300. from a reputable dealer who said it was Extra Fine and would grade 45. ANACS confirmed the authenticity and graded it 45 as expected but marked the coin damaged. they did not note the type of damage or whereabouts on the coin. I called ANACS for a further explanation. They advised me that their grader had made no notes or offer any further details. They said I should resubmit the coin at my expense and they would look into it . I have already paid for this service ( including shipping , grading , and insurance ). If this company was reputable they would either give me and explanation or offer to harbor the cost of shipping and handling as it has been paid once already. It is certainly not my fault they did not note the damage that they claim they found. In addition, their customer Service Manager, Andrew, was abusive and rude and told me he would do nothing to rectify this and said Too Bad and hung up on me. When I attempted to call back, I found they had blocked my phone number. THIS IS A BAD COMPANY.

    I found a high quality coin that I needed graded by anacs looked at the pictures I sent them and said the coin is a fraud that it is a damaged coin not a mint mist strike it is a mint and strike point I know it for a fact I've already had it appraised by other coin dealers and they refuse to deal with it because of their arrogance and their rudeness they think they know it all. I must apologize the company was correct about the coin. However I can only date them 2/5 stars because 1. They should have done a better job explaining why they made the decision. 2. Their rudeness and arrogance is way out there.

    ANACS is pretty good but like nearly all grading services don't fully catch problem areas of many specimens qualifying for the less desired "details" grading category. I have submitted a coin to them where upon closer examination I noticed parts it were cleaned they did not catch. Nonetheless ANACS overall does quality work but isn't nearly perfect in their assessments (as none of them are, not even PCGS or NGC). In terms of holders the typical holder is a yellow color design, inert, in non-corrosive hard plastic with a bold black lettering description. Some of their labels can have fancy designs and pictures too along with the description. There is a tilt on the top edge of the label so a slab can be identified if kept standing up and looking down from above. ANACS also makes holders to fit its slabs. ANACS (like SEGS) is great for variety coins too. In many aspect they're similar to SEGS. ANACS posts populations of their graded coins by type in their online directory though you need to have an account with them to view this detailed information. ANACS also alerts you by email of the current status of your submission such as when it was received and how they graded before you get them returned, etc.. ANACS might wish to consider making a price guide to what they believe specific coins and exonumia in their slabs are worth on the market based on grade.
