Wait ... I did crack open one graded Cryptolator. It was that **** ANACS slabbed Cryptolator that I got back from Blazedout419. I sent it in naked and it received the exact same grade as before, MS66 . So, ANACS does seem to maintain some consistency.

Do you break out the coin from the grading capsule to send it to the other company??
or do they accept pre-slabbed??
And nice to see some consistency in grading between the 2 companies!!

I left them in their slabs. I read on their site that they cover up the previous grade when grading crossovers, so the grader does not know the old grade. I see no reason to believe they would lie. I sent in an ANACS slabbed Casascius coin and it was regraded two points higher, so I think they really do cover up the old grades when grading them. It would have been easier for them to just say it's the right grade and send it back. I would have had to pay the same anyway.

It's time to update this comparison between ICG and ANACS. I just got back 8 Cryptolator silver 1btc coins as crossovers from ICG to ANACS. They ALL received the same grade within one grade (all MS68 or MS69).
Here is a list of the coins that received the same exact grade from ANACS and ICG. <<5 total>>
#30 MS69 identical 4952876 http://www.anacs.com/Populations/CertVerification.aspx?cert=4952876
#56 MS69 identical 4952877 http://www.anacs.com/Populations/CertVerification.aspx?cert=4952877
#67 MS68 identical 4952878 http://www.anacs.com/Populations/CertVerification.aspx?cert=4952878
#57 MS69 identical 4952881 http://www.anacs.com/Populations/CertVerification.aspx?cert=4952881
#53 MS69 identical 4952883 http://www.anacs.com/Populations/CertVerification.aspx?cert=4952883
Here is a list of the coins that received one grade lower from ANACS: <<3 total>>
#65 MS68 drop down 1 – 4952879 http://www.anacs.com/Populations/CertVerification.aspx?cert=4952879
#54 MS68 drop down 1 – 4952880 http://www.anacs.com/Populations/CertVerification.aspx?cert=4952880
#58 MS68 drop down 1 – 4952882 http://www.anacs.com/Populations/CertVerification.aspx?cert=4952882
I hope this will put an end to this nonsense that ICG is not as good as ANACS.
Here is one more crossover I had graded and it happened to also received the exact same grade from both ICG and ANACS.

Depends on who grades them...ICG hands out higher grades than ANACS would for these. So a MS-69 ICG is probably an MS-67 ANACS wise. Also ANACS is a more respected company #3 of the big four. ICG being #4, but the top 2 will not grade physical cryptos
Blazed I bow down to your wisdom. You were pretty much spot on.
Really good to have a direct comparison like this though. Thanks everyone for doing this, and for doing it so openly. Really helps us all.
It's not a complete lose on my side either. Keep in mind these were originally MS68 from ICG. The MS67 is still with in +/-1 grade. So, I still get one of them back
. I do concede that ICG looks to be one to two grades higher than ANACS on these coins.

Well I am working with ANACS right now on a guide for grading physical crypto coins. I will have a "how to" guide with a template form supplied by them and some other info soon.
January 09, 2015, 05:30:20 AM
Thanks for clearing this up!

Damn no edits.. the Silvers are the 1BTC so 66 and a 67 
January 09, 2015, 12:03:05 AM
Grades are in, and expected they got lower. I sent in those 2 x Silvers, 2 x Copper, and 1 Goldline
I am guessing the coppers are the 2 66's.

Status updated on ANACS website to "Shipping" so I will have grades tomorrow before they leave to me. I can not wait to see some MS-67/68's and score a free Silver!
So.. what are the results?
They are teasing us
Should be posted tomorrow right before they ship I hope...

Nothing yet..I use economy service so will take a bit. Also with it being the holidays I expect a few are probably off work on vacation.
December 18, 2014, 07:27:34 PM
Also interested in knowing
I've since received the coin from Pistachio and have been very happy with it. It looks amazing.
