I've owned a lot of beautiful coins in the old small white ANACS holders. I've so often wished that CAC would accept them for review. I think they look so much better in those small white holders, than the current PCGS or NGC holders. What do you guys think? any chance of opening up submissions to include ANACS, but limited to the small white holders? A guy can dream can't he?
Imagine if this...

I even bought a bunch of the BCW holders and inserts to hold my raw coins. They are the same size and remind me a lot of those old holders. I just wish their inserts were a little better. The nickel inserts I got are just a bit too thick, so the plastic case won't close all the way. But they sure look nice when I go through them.
As far as opening submissions up to ALL ANACS holders with low success rates, they can charge for all ANACS submissions regardless of success or denial. That could be applied to all submitters regardless if they are collector or dealer submitters. It would simply be an accounting adjustment. Collector submitters already cover grading fees for all coins submitted and simply get a refund for the coins that do not pass. If I was told that I would have to pay for all ANACS coins submitted, whether they passed or not, would not affect my submission.
ANACS coins are now more like fetish objects, a less extreme form of madness than "NGC black". How many $750 ANACS coins have you seen in the past 5 years?
You might use the HA archives and find that out, and likely anything else you'd need to evaluate the situation, and quite easily too. My take is that the higher the grade and/or value of the coin might be, the less the holder or grade is considered. There is NO market domain that accepts their grades.

PCGS would only grade it AU-58. Instead of being upset, I rejoiced the possible outcome.
True to his word, JA gold stickered the AU-58 cent.
I learned quickly to try to get as many undergraded PCGS coins so I could maximize as many gold stickered slabs as possible.
Most collectors thought I was nuts at the time but ultimately I may have been proven right in my thinking.
Of course there are exceptions.
