Anacs undergoing a PROCEDURE CHANGE

[Fattcatt]

I spoke to Anacs today, and theres a new procedure change underway there. My coins went in the first week in December and it will be at least 3 more weeks, maybe more, due to
this change. I was told by another member that they are re-designing the slab insert, it will be a different color, and there will be a claim added, something along the lines of:
THEY CANNOT GUARANTEE THE VALUE OF ANY CRYPTO CURRENCY.
And, there will be a price hike to boot. $59 each, with NO discounts under ANY circumstances, for ANYONE.

Does anyone know more about this? Is it hooey? Or what is going on over there? Word is it has something to do with their insurance and not being able to cover the values of Cryptos.

Guarantee as in lost btc from the coin while being graded? What does that mean exactly?

Thanks for bringing this to our attention

I'm a Coin Fanatic of 30+ Years and i cringe at the Coin Grading Companies. I love Silver coins and especially silver Dollars. I have sent so many in to Grading companies only to be disappointed at their Level of "Professionalism"

Whenever a Coin Grading Company offers Re-Grading services which the top 3 do i just want to puke. I'm not surprised at all about their policy changes.

Every Grading service is flawed and can be over ruled by the next company. Just shows what the company is made up of.

If you use a grading Company to grade coins or Crypto tokens use it as a GENERAL Grade never ever rely on it being perfect.

For them to NOT guarantee the crypto value on a token shows their lack of investigation into a coin-token grading service. Screw them save $59 and grade it yourself with the proper learning tools out there regarding coins/tokens/

this should be fun.

premiums for the old slabs now?

   Couldnt agree more. Especially now with the price of BTC..too much at risk!

I have a few of my finest killyou krazy krypto koinz at ANACS currently.  They just arrived Friday last and show a 3 week turnaround.  I paid 19$ grading fee each.  I am not saying you are incorect, but I have not been notified of a delay or increased charges.

[owlcatz]

I have 3 orders in there right now (don't ask - poor planning)! and I just called them and they said they are just delayed a bit due to the holidays. The person I spoke with knew nothing about any changes, but I also had him put my name and number to someone in Marketing to give me a call, so I'll get back to you all once they call me back, or I'll try them again tomorrow.

Thanks!

Edit - The current submission form is valid until 6/30/18 so if they do make any "Real" changes it should be after that date, otherwise they are breaking their own rules.

[dazedfool]

who was spreading rumors a while back that ANACS was going to stop accepting a crypto coins all together?

[Fattcatt]

I don't know Dazed, and that would totally suck if that happened.

So is ANACs the only service grading physical coins ?

ANACS hasnt exactly been.. how do I put it ... consistent with the grading. Personally I think we should petition other graders and then support them by using them.

ANACS have shot themselves in the foot here, the only way to make them pay is to stop giving them business

I was saying this to MJ a few months back.  Baby-boomers, their biggest customers, are now dying off and they’ve GOT to be feeling that (they need the bizz)?!  I’ll happily Andy Dufresne NGC a letter a day.

I think CGS in the UK accepts cryptos.
I’ve got a Cas Single that has been graded by them.
The only downside would be adjusting the disparity in grading results although that being said, ANACs themselves were pretty poor recently with the average scoring being so high (lower grades being bumped)...

Now if only PCGS was to grade our coins. I agree, when I saw they graded Satori chips...that was it for me.

Do you have a link? That is actually laughable.
Don’t get me wrong, I love the satori chips but they are chips... How can a coin grading service grade poker chips?

The fact that a piece of plastic got a better grade than many of the coins we send in says it all...... WE DON'T CARE ABOUT YOURS COINS, SEND US MONEY!!!!!

the only reason I am pissed off is that I was going to send you 4 rolls off my next delivery for grading for fun... $2K I can handle paying for a laugh.. $6000.00 ??  forget it

but what are we all going to do for grading now? maybe the UK will be the grading capital of the world.... reverse mantis express for everyone

ANACS is a joke. I have never used them...never will.

Someone from here should open their own grading service. Seriously, he would be more capable than those clowns. At the same time we would also trust him with our BTC. There are a few good candidates but that is up to them to take the idea and run with it.

[gentlemand]

I occasionally toyed with the idea of sending something in in the past, but it was a lot of hassle as I'm across the water. Now these coins are worth so much there's no way in hell I'm doing it other than in person somehow, and even then I'd probably be reamed by US customs or something.

It's an idea that's off the table for me now.

I don't often feel this way...but I agree with the Krog man.  I'd find much more validity in a grading service run by a crypto connoisseur, the candidates are out there. The legal hurdles...I have no idea. But I support this proposition. Thats it. Crowdfund the cryptograding ICO!

   Trust me...with the knowledge and experience of certain collectors here I am positive they will do better in grading than any ANACS grader can. They grade as a company...the person from here will probably take it more seriously as an individual and do a far better job.
