That arrows and rays Half is awesome.

 

Early ANACS/Amos - At the time of the sale, two XXnnnn combinations were in use (EX and RE). Amos continued using these for a while. The transition is somewhere below EX1885 and between RE0858/RE2077.

Other combinations are exclusively ANA or Amos, like this one:

 

Here's a couple I forgot I had. I came across a couple of PCGS boxes that I haven't look at in a while...

 

Nice one Dave I'm sure that most would grade higher by todays standards.

 

I can remember a time when you walked a show and these Anacs slabs were quite plentiful. Now a days you don't see alot of them at a show. I always would be looking them over and if reasonable make an offer or buy the slab.
Now a days I search out the old PCI slabs .
My only problem is even though I know the coin in said slab would grade better I just can't bring myself to breaking them out and regrading them.
I guess for two reasons one I know by my own eye what is in the slab,the other is to be like destroying part of the history of this hobby.
That may sound lame....but it is true.... so til I'm taking the permanent dirt nap they are safe in my safe....and hopfully their next owner will find value in their history and keep them as is.

 

A non designated "Accented" hair Kennedy. This one and the Franklin (below) that I cracked, (which I wouldn't have done) if the slab wasn't so abused, were bought from the same place, for cheap. I think 20 for both.

 

This is a cool variety, ANACS attributed it as a MPD-001 which translates to VAM-39. It's a bit unusual as it has all four date digits punched in the denticles. The later die state, VAM-39A, is also a cool variety having massive die cracks circling the bottom half of the obverse die from the 5th left star all the way around to the base of the phrygian cap almost uninterrupted. It's also amazing how many Morgans were produced from this seemingly terminal state die. Any day I can find a half dozen examples on ebay in a matter of minutes. I'll bet a full 1,000 coin bag survived the melting pot.
