<p>[QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 2103753, member: 36230"]See that little circular symbol in the lower left corner?

However, and as a somewhat interesting aside, being as the inserts are the same size as the old white ANACS (white was sold with them at one time, but discontinued IIRC), it was possible to take a genuine ANACS insert and label, and put it in one of these aftermarket holders. Slap the back sticker from the genuine slab on the back of the aftermarket (to cover "CoinWorld"), put a price sticker on the front to hide the logo, and what you had was something that very much appeared to be an old ANACS slab. This was not something that would fool one familiar with the real deal, of course, and the CoinWorld holders were thicker than a real ANACS, but could have slid by someone who did not know what they were doing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
