Bit off topic here guys but if ANACS grade and seal a coin is it guaranteed genuine?
I know there are some fake Casascius doing the rounds just wondered if they are ANACS graded and sealed they are guaranteed genuine?
Sorry to hijack the thread.
Typically you assume that yes, they are genuine. All depends on how familiar they are with what is being graded, which given the number of coins that have gone through I'd say is pretty safe.
I typically deal with NGC/PCGS and if they have any question about the authenticity of the coin they won't slab it and send it back as "questionable".
Thank you very much that's good to know.
