<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 3374143, member: 66"]Correct, the red triangles were the first after Amos Press bought ANACS they were 1990, they had a six character serial number consisting of letters and numbers. Then in 1991 or 92 a barcode was added to the front label and the serial number went to all numerals. This lasted til 1997 when the logos were changed to green. In April 2000 the barcode was changed adding two more characters to it. The serial number is now seven digits but I don't know if it changed at the same time as the barcode or if the seven digit number was introduced earlier. On Aug 18, 2005 the font of the front label was changed. In Feb 2006 the new curved bottom slabs were introduced and the small white slabs were reserved for problem coins, these come with at least two different front labels, possibly three and the reverse logo was changed. In April 2007 the first fake ANACS small white slabs appeared and within a couple months the small white slabs were discontinued and the round bottom slabs were used for both problem and problem free slabs.</p><p><br /></p><p>These are just the high points there are at least a half dozen other variations in size and slight changes in the insert.</p><p><br /></p><p>And I haven't even begun to discuss the varieties in the blue and gold label slabs.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
