1. what does the blue label represent. all of the anacs slabs i have seen so far have yellow labels. 2. why would they attribute a coin with die chips?
1st the blue color is just an older label before they switched over to the yellow. 2nd ANACs attributes varities and errors including die chips so such are often included on the label (usualy at submiters request)
1. Older generation holder that was used after the small white holders and before the yellow insert holders. 2. To increase market share they attribute many things that other companies will not attribute.
That is the slab they started using in Sept of 2007. Notice the squared off bottom of the slab. From Feb 2005 to Sept 2007 the slab had a curved bottom edge, and the label was also blue (There are at least three varieties of this slab as well depending on the placement of the logo and whther the fill on the logo is silver or gold.). From Feb 2005 to July of 2007 they used the blue label slabs for the problem free coins and the small size white slabs (With blue logos on the label) for the problem coins. After we turned up counterfeit ANACS problem slabs in March of 2007 ANACS decided to put both problem free and problem coins in the blue label holders. That began in July of 2007. The blue label square bottom slabs continued until about eight months after James Taylor bought ANACS in December of 2007. Then they switched to the yellow labels.
