Variety/Attribution/Error Research/Verification
Verification of varieties and other well-documented attributions. This includes VAM numbers, Overton numbers, Fivaz-Stanton varieties, Sheldon and Newcomb numbers, Cohen, Bolender, Breen, Flynn, Snow and more. Simply list the variety number to be verified in the space provided on the ANACS submission form. The ANACS graders will verify your attribution, and the variety designation, if correct, will be placed on the ANACS label. This service is an additional $5 per coin. In the event you do not know the attribution, if you request it, ANACS will research it for you. Simply write “Attribute” in the space provided on the ANACS submission form. This service is an additional $10 per coin.
Problem Coins Graded
ANACS was the first major grading service to grade cleaned, corroded, damaged, repaired, and other "problem coins". What will be printed on the label will be the coin's "detail grade" and the coin's most significant problems.
The "details grade" reflects the amount of remaining detail on the coin, balancing actual wear with remaining sharpness. Such coins will be encapsulated in our new ANACS holder. The ANACS guarantee for such coins applies only to their authenticity, not their grade.
Attribution Service
For all 3000+ VAMs, plus certification for 95 percent of varieties from every major numismatic reference: We offer the industry's most complete, most accurate service.
Crossover Submissions Accepted
ANACS offers coin grading and authentication services on coins already encapsulated in other
services’ holders at the same prices as for other submissions. Crossover submissions are inspected
while in the holder and with the grade covered. In the final grading stage, the ANACS grade is
compared against the minimum acceptable grade listed on your submission form.
Cameo and Heavy Cameo for Proof World Coins
Cameo and Deep Cameo designations will be used for Proof-60 and higher world coins. We will
use the same criteria we use for U.S. proof coins.
