<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Insider, post: 2323320, member: 24314&quot;]ANACS was in DC from 1971 until it was moved to CO.&nbsp; Located in the Munsey Building jus a few steps off Pennsylvania Ave.&nbsp; I have a PPC of the building.&nbsp; The &quot;Old PO Building&quot; on PA Ave was where the PO Box was and where the Registered Mail was dropped off in the evening.&nbsp; The ANA chose DC because it was close to the Smithsonian, the US Mint Lab, and just a day up &amp; back by train to the ANS in NY.</p><p>IMO, they never should have moved it to CO; but the place was finally profitable and the ANA wanted better control.&nbsp; Charles Hoskins was the Director/authenticator.&nbsp; Mike Fazzari was an authenticator.&nbsp; John Hunter was there for a short time too.&nbsp; </p><p>All coins received were logged into a ledger, weighed, and photographed before being authenticated so they could be ID&#039;d if lost or stolen and to protect ANACS from claims of switching.&nbsp; Remember, at the time, collectors were not accustomed to send their coins to strangers...LOL.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
