Bad news... ANACS will not grade these coins because they are too thick for their holders. They can only grade 5oz coins that are 3" in size, and this one is 2.5" which makes it thicker than their case can hold. Very disappointing...
So much for that idea. Anything else I can do to whip you into a frenzy while we wait for the plastic capsules to arrive?
Topic: [WTS] 5oz .999 Silver NastyFans Minted Seats - page 8. (Read 48047 times)
If anyone is interested, for $50 I will have them ANACS graded for you before shipping out. PM me if that's something you want to participate in.
It doesn't appear ANACS grades this size of a coin, but if you confirm that they will grade it, I'd be interested.
(Sorry for not PMing, based on prior experience I'd rather keep communications public at this point!
)Reading their info says probably not. But if they grade the U.S. 5oz coins as shown in the pic above, they should. These are the same size so the precedent does exist. Let's wait and see with crossed fingers.
While they don't grade 5oz "coins" it does appear they grade "tokens" which is what this coin would be considered. I've emailed them for clarity, but I think I'll go ahead and give them a call this morning to get an official answer. I think my 1NASTY1FAN....addressed coin deserves a grading.

WOW

I'm interested, however I'm a noob when it comes to this physical coin stuff, but trying to learn fast - What exactly do I get out of that, I mean I understand it's graded but do they put some sticker on it and give me some paper or something? (Sorry, can't google around right now, sorta busy)!
Also, roughly how much more time will be involved in getting it shipped in the end? Not that I can't wait longer for it, just curious if you have any idea.
Thanks as always!
I've sent a couple coins to ANACS. In my experience, it takes about 2 weeks to get them back. Considering I could send them off Monday (or sooner), and it could be 2 weeks before the capsules come anyway for all we know, time shouldn't be a big concern. As far as what you get out of it, you just get it graded and it will come in an ANACS slab instead of a regular airtite. It doesn't add any extra protection, but if you got an amazing grade it might increase it's value.

I plan to send my coins off to PCGS for grading soon as they arrive.
I was under the impression that PCGS doesn't grade these types of coins.
ANACS would be the more appropriate choice for getting these done, just like all the other ones out there (Cas, Lealana, etc). They seem to have their stuff together, and they supposedly are even working on proper population reports for these, which would be extremely interesting to see.
However, looking through their pages, it seems their limit for tokens is 40.6mm, which I think this round is larger than, correct? I do believe they certify the US hockey pucks as well, so they should have holders that can handle them.
The good news is that if you're going to do the grading, you wouldn't have to wait for the capsules...
If you want any help with this let me know, up to and including doing any submissions.
Interesting about their limit. These tokens are 63.5mm, so I will need to discuss this with ANACS. I have been in communication with them previously to give them information on the 1oz tokens, so I will reach out to my contact to make sure everything is good with the 5oz version.
A good point about not having to wait for the capsules. I don't have flips, so I would most likely wrap them well in foam and secure them in plastic bags. I'll go ahead and let this idea float around for a while, and if anyone is interested, I will submit some for grading next Monday.
I received a response from the mint saying that they had run out of stock on the capsules and have ordered more. Don't get me started on why they didn't have them on hand since I paid for them more than 3 months ago... In any event, they have at least acknowledged the oversight and assured that they have been ordered, so that is something...

I believe your impression is correct.

That I am not sure as this would be my first crypto coin submission. I will let you know what is the outcome.
Thanks,

I should also let everyone know. I have a few of the 1oz 1 seat coins. Just had 2 graded that have been given MS69 by ANACS .... So the quality of mint and assembly is also there
That's awesome. I haven't heard of anyone getting any of the minted seats graded before. Be sure to post some pics.
4908292 and 4908293. ANACS imaged , just waiting for them to be made live on The ANACS website.
I am very curious about this. We need to talk. I'd love to get an example form filled out so that people can easily print them and fill in their shipping information to have their coins sent it. I think it would be great if everyone used the same information with ANACS as I know I've seen some different naming formats on graded Casascius coins. I'd also like to go through the process myself to see if I can offer to do this on behalf of buyers in the future, or perhaps even offer a one-time group grading option for these pre-orders?
I think this is my new favorite coin. I am so anxious to get them shipped out so I can start hearing other opinions, this wait for plastic capsules is killing me. Not sure why they weren't shipped with the coins.
Imagine how anxious all of us are
Yup it is killing me. I need more pics to hold me over in the mean time. lol

Hey, I wasn't trying to hate, just didn't get it at first without reading the whole shebang.
No worries. We like questions.

I think this is a cool concept, but a bit of a circlejerk, who buys the gear if not owners of seats, only to get1/30000th of 75% of the margin as "cashback" of sorts?
Do you know any other organization that offers silver coins with public and private keys engraved? And donations are sent to the Bitcoin address of those coins every week?
Minted seats are a amazing and unique concept. A miner in your pocket. Whether current nastyfans members or non-member Bitcoin/silver enthusiasts purchase them is irrelevant. The minted seats have merit on their own.
The fact that proceeds from minted seat sales are donated to nastyfans is a nice bonus for the fanclub and is something that me and all other nastyfans members very much appreciate.
