Here are a couple of ANACS Photo Certificates I picked up last week. Although these are common dates, I believe the Certificates to be very rare. Zac
I search ANACS auctions and lots ALL the time and rarely see the photocerts, im not into them due to having to store them, but I think they are pretty neat all the same.
I believe both of these to be type 8 certificates. Anacs only made this type of certificate for a few weeks in early 1987. What makes these even more rare, I believe, is that they are also transfer certificates. These are the first transfer certificates of this type I have ever come across. If anyone has any other information about these, it would be much appreciated. Zac Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk
The dates on these two certificates are the dates they were originally graded. When an Anacs photo certificate and its coin was sold, the coin and certificate could be resubmitted to Anacs and the new owners name placed on a new certificate. These coins were originally submitted on the dates on the certificate and purchased apparently in January 1987 and sent in for an ownership transfer. That's when these certificates were issued.

When transferred Anacs put the ** TRANSFER ** on the new certificate. Zac Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk
Thanks, I didnt want to sound like a smart alleck for asking, but thanks for clearing it up and explaining it a little better.
I haven't seen any for at least 10 years probably longer . Thanks for showing them . I wonder what that coin would grade today by PCGS or NGC ?
I have sent several in to ngc and pcgs and most generally come back at the same grade. Some a point higher and some a point lower, but the majority come back at the same grade. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk
Yep look like ANACS 8T's, I have seen a couple before but that's about all. Transfer certificates are rare because although all the certificates were registered to a specific person, very few new owners ever bothered to return the certificates to ANACS to have the registration changed over.
Thanks Conder, have you ever seen an ANACS photo certificate with a DMPL designation? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk
I don't think so, but I don't really pay much attention to the grades on the slabs/certificates. It just really isn't important to me.
I was curious as to whether you thought there was such a designation in the old Anacs photo certificate. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk
Those are very nice, I find it odd that there is not a current date on them (for transfer), but these are the first transfers type 8 I have ever seen. I thought type 8's came with the current date on them. Type 9 and 10 have no date on them.
If they had be submitted for grading it would have had the current date on it but these were Transfer certificates so they are just a new certificate with the new registered owner listed and the original grading date. No grading was done on the later date so it wasn't listed.
