[Pictures] ANACS new slabs

[Blazed]

those do look terrible. if we stop using ANACS this will have been wasted money on their end and it should send a strong message from our community.

has anyone ever received an ANACS graded Cas or similar from someone outside of this forum or is it mainly us sending these in and circulating them?

I am pretty sure the bulk of ANACS crypto grading business used to come from just a handful of people here on this forum.

Fixed that for you*

When they charge everyone, Dispute it, it is charge back time everyone.  

Mine are already on the way back to me and they did not charge my card.  Incompetence or did they give me a freebie on 10+ coins?

No, they did the exact same to me.

I just got two coins back today and the holograms look even crappier. I called and talked to "Paul" and gave him a piece of my mind about the delays, the lies, and the SHITTY cracked/scraped up hologram. He offered to fix the holograms if I send them back, however, I made it clear to him that I'm not the only one seeing this, and that he should probably go check his packages going out the door, cuz quality control is utter shit.

Anyhow, it devolved from there - He even offered to just pull the rest of my orders off and just send them back, and I said, "Oh no motherfucker, you guys need to grade those orders, then I'll be done with you, since it's pretty clear you don't give 2 shits about crypto-people. He clearly indicated that he didn't 2 shits about me indeed, so then I Told him "great, I'll be sending back my coins postage-due and that they can also send them back for free, thank you sir! ... Then I just hung up.

Not sure I want to wait another 2 months to fix their stupid mistakes... You should see these two coins, what a fucking joke.

I also told him that the dark green totally sucks, as it's harder to read the black text now... He said that wouldn't be changed either.

So yeah... FUCK ANACS!!!!

Edit - I did ask if I would be charged 29 for the rest, and he said no, 19 it would be for backorders.

IS THIS ACCEPTABLE?

I have been outspoken against ANACS in the past because I think they are terrible at maintaining consistency.  I actually like the new green labels over the ugly yellow ones though and think it's nice they are being honest by pointing out that they have no idea about the actual crypto value.

That being said, those holograms are ridiculous.  Maybe they were trying to get rid of their damaged ones first or something?  I'd send them back to be redone and ask for some sort of future discount for your trouble.  I also agree that finding a replacement that cares about the community, or having someone here with the time and experience to start their own grading service are great ideas.

damn, those slab labels and holos look ugly! Isn't there another company in the UK that grades Crypto Coins?

Send them to ICG for cross grade, that is my plan.  If we do that with a bunch of coins we can get an idea of how the grades compare.

FUCK ANACS!

I would, but I will have to wait, as these two are not mine, which makes this that much worse.

At least they managed to put the coins straight. I mean, it could be turned in any direction within the slab

Look at you with your half full glass.

Every single hologram I got back today has either small rips or scuffing on them. If ANACS did not want our business why not just stop accepting the coins?

Well, with such badly applied / bad quality holograms, I would expect chaos inside that plastic slab as well.
There is still hope guys.

You can't even make this shit up. Having inspected them further there is A fucking piece of HAIR, INSIDE the slab of an MS69!!!! :::

[digicoinuser]

New slabs sure look ugly, and that rear hologram application looks like they torched the edges before application.  

The black text on green background isn't an eye pleaser and I preferred the black text on yellow bg.

... and here comes chaos !
This is unacceptable. I hope you will contact them and they'll either remove that or put your coin in a brand new slab with a proper holo !

Are you interested in a trip I am planning to Englewood to throw rocks at their headquarters?

That is so unacceptable.  There must be no quality control person/inspector at the end of the assembly line.

Thanks. I think it's more than clear that they are just rush-jobbing this shit out, smallest orders first.  

I'm going to be emailing them tonight with all the photos - What bothers me is that I still have two larger orders stuck there. The guy was so fed up with me earlier he was going to just send them back. I may request that be done after all, as some are again, not my coins.  Fuck this sucks, Totally blew my week and it's only Wednesday.

In other news, prayers and thoughts out to the people & families involved in the latest stupid USA high school shooting....

Clearly, QC is absent here. It's almost like they are just ripping us off and telling us all to get fucked at the same time. Talk about feeling screwed. I almost want my money back at this point, as cracking them all and sending to the other place is not going to be cheap either, plus it's even more fucking time...

Would love to throw stones, but I bet their office is a some piece of shit rental with a few receptionists... Wouldn't want to hurt them, they are only relaying Paul's lies all this time. IN FACT, I was told back in January (early) that EVERYTHING sent before 1/1 would get the old labels. They sure fucked that up, didn't they, as it would have helped them get through the backorders now....

As you are well aware, some people/businesses are only interested in making as much money as they can.  I've found it's best to avoid these types of people/businesses. 

It does please me to no longer be the only voice talking about how terrible this company is.  I can only imagine all the OCD types now trying to figure out if they are going to break open all their slabs or have them all redone so they can be the same color. 

[dolphriends]

I have to say I am floored by the holograms condition.  What could they be thinking putting those tattered looking things on there.  Wow!

I had something like this a while back. Not a hair specifically, but a definite speck of lint or dirt inside the case I could shake around. Sad sad sad

[FFrankie]

At least they didn't sweep any of the coins

[wheelz1200]

You mean peel and sweep.  That has been a worry that they at some point will have a rougue employee who who wait for a good "batch" to come in and hit it hard.  Sounds paranoid but this exists for any company you send a coin to.  Just takes one dopehead to get his hands on a couple hundred thousands of dollars to wipe out your stack
