What the ANA has now included in the 6th edition of its grading guide is
nothing more than an invitation for grading abuse to proliferate. Saying
that a Fine-12 Indian cent needs not show LIBERTY is pandering to the
unscrupulous, giving them aid and comfort. I find it totally
unconscionable. Standards are standards.

The ANA appears to have little credibility left.
If I was a member, I'd quit!
Anyway, I wouldn't want to belong to any association that can count
"Crisco " Fwankie among its members!

Was it Mark Twain who said that he wouldn't be part of any organization that
would have him as a member? In any event, I don't let that stop me. If I
can benefit from membership, I will join, but if can't, I won't. It's that
simple.

The fact that the offer (if it exists) is "for up to 80%" strongly
suggests that the coins are evaluated individually, and that more or
less money is loaned depending upon (among other things) the exact
condition and eye appeal of the coin.

Keep pitching Frank. *We simply aren't as dumb as you think.

oly

The coins are not examined individually, they go by the grade on the
slab. Certain coins are less than 80%
due to market volitility, such as moderns and bullion coins.


However I disagree with loaning money for coins to buy more coins,
which is how PCGS is promoting it.
