Below is an example of a 2000 P Sacagawea dollar for sale on eBay.  It is currently holdered in a recent EdgeView slab, but the certification number is only 6 digits, and the coin was originally graded long ago in a different style slab.  I happen to know this because I follow the populations of the Sac $1 coins, and almost all of the coins graded from 2000-P as MS69 were already identified by NGC by 2002 (and the EdgeView didn't exist in 2002).  [ATTACH]137407.vB[/ATTACH] On another note, there are several sellers on eBay (most with absolutely gouging prices) who regularly re-holder coins that come from older slabs but carry along with them their grades.  Amongst those of us who collect the Sac $1 series, it is well known that many of those older slabbed 2000-P coins graded MS69 by NGC are not up to snuff with later MS69 coins graded in the series.  As 2000 was the first year of the coin series, apparently there was a learning curve to pin down the grading system.[/QUOTE]
