Using ANACS to grade coins
I have 12 to 15 Morgan Dollars I want to have graded, and as I have not joined NGC or PCGS as a paying member it looks like ANACS is my only choice. I have used the PCGS Photograde page and I think, but what do I know :-), they are MS64 on avg, maybe MS63. Anyone know a Dealer in the Balt/Annapolis area that would be willing to take a quick look and give me an opinion on having them graded?

Re: Using ANACS to grade coins
Sorry but I can't help you with that. You can Google dealers or use coinzip.com but dealers don't usually like to pre-grade your coins unless they're submitting for you.

Re: Using ANACS to grade coins
Daniel, thanks for the reply. I am not looking for a grade but just an opinion on whether or not its work the money for me to send them in. I have some slabbed MS63's from NGC and the ones I was thinking to send in look better to me, fewer bag marks and nice luster. I have a local guy who retired that's in his 80's that has offered to take a look at them for me. Are the current top 3 grading companies, NGC, PCGS, then ANACS in that order?

Re: Using ANACS to grade coins
You can't determine if sending a coin is worth it unless you pre-grade it, that's how it is done. You already did that by comparing to an MS63, you think they're MS64 or better. So go to PCGS coin values and see what grade they need to be to be worth the money.
