<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SilverMike, post: 17757386, member: 78609&quot;]Up next I have a Type 6 ANACS Photo Certificate. What do I like about this one?</p><p>-It has all the parts mentioned previously: a plastic sleeve for the coin, in a 2x2 flip with a note implying that the holder may not be the best choice for long term storage, with the certificate number (F3660N) on a label on the flip.</p><p><br /></p><p>-I found a note in Robert Paul&#039;s history of ANACS that from 1979 to June 1986 all MS grading was either 60, 63, 65, 67, or 70.&nbsp; In June 1986 the ANA board agreed to add 61, 62, 64, 66, 68, and 69 (but it took some time to build reference sets to use for grading those new gradations). In hand this coin looks like a 64 today.</p><p><br /></p><p>-The dates on this certificate are interesting: it was graded on 4/19/85 (registered to Arne Kozak).&nbsp; It looks like it was purchased on 5/31/85 from Downeast Coins and there is a note &quot;MS64&quot; - maybe the dealer thought this coin looked better than the 63/63 on the certificate?&nbsp; In the same handwriting on the back, the purchase price is noted for 5/31: $175.&nbsp; $175 seems like a lot for this common Morgan in 1985 - in today&#039;s&nbsp; dollars that is about $482.&nbsp; I know that Morgans were pricey in the 80s...</p><p><br /></p><p>-I wish I knew more about this coin&#039;s story between 1985 and when I bought it last month <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Mike</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1536153[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1536154[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
