<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 112593, member: 66&quot;]That is an <b>ANACS 9</b> (black &amp; white photos) or <b>ANACS 10</b> (color photos) certificate.&nbsp; I can&#039;t tell which from the photos.&nbsp; The ANACS 9 was only used during 1987, and the ANACS 10 was used from 1987 until they began using slabs (ANACS 11) in very late 1989.&nbsp; ANACS 10 is fairly common, ANACS 9 is fairly scarce.&nbsp; It can be hard sometimes to tell the two apart on silver coins, look for a fringe of color along the edge of the coin.&nbsp; (Don&#039;t be fooled by the red ANA logo, it appears that way on both varieties.)&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The most commonly encountered ANACS certificate is ANACS 4 which was used for three years from 1980 to 1983.&nbsp; (The first generation certificate, ANACS 1 was used for a longer period than any other, 1972 - 1976, but is almost never encountered.)&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The scarcest ANACS certificates are the Transfer certificates.&nbsp; ANA registered the coin to the submitter.&nbsp; When it was sold the buyer could return the certificate to ANACS and receive a new certificate registered to the new owner with the original grading date on the certificate and the date that the registration was transfered.&nbsp; Now Transfer certificates can exist for all of the certificates ANACS 1 - 8, but for the most part no one cared about the registration and so very few people ever sent the certificates back in.&nbsp; To date I have only been able to confirm the existance of five Transfer certificates, one fourth generation, two fifth generation, and two sixth generation.&nbsp; Three of these five are in my slab reference collection.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
