<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 1870376, member: 66&quot;]It&#039;s in the book as <b>FCS 2</b>.&nbsp; This is the third and last variety from Federated Certification Service.&nbsp; FCS started in late 1985 and ran through sometime after May of 1989.&nbsp; The first two varieties have the company name on them.&nbsp; Sometime between 1986 and 1988 the text on the holder changed to include the double your money back guarantee on authenticity (and at the same time removed their name from the holder.)&nbsp; I also suspect that during this change the firm was acquired by a European firm because the certification date changes format from MM/DD/YY to DD/MM/YY.&nbsp; This isn&#039;t obvious on the OP slab because you can&#039;t obviously tell this was slabbed May 6th 1989 and not June 5th.&nbsp; (The European dating style is clear on other examples I have seen and in my reference collection.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
