<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 1380144, member: 66&quot;]Check the back of the slab and if it has an Anston PA address on it DON&#039;T crack it out!&nbsp; There are six varieties of INS holder, two photocertificate and four slabs.&nbsp; The company started out in Washington DC and moved to Philadelphia PA in 1992 where the fifth variety came from.&nbsp; At that point it was thought that the company went out of business.&nbsp; In 2002 though the sixth variety turned up now from Anston PA and copyrighted 1997!&nbsp; Only a single example of INS 6 has been seen.&nbsp; Apparently by 1997 all that existed of INS was the President Charles Hoskins who had moved from Philadelphia to Aston PA.&nbsp; Why he produced the INS 6 slab I do not know.&nbsp; Possibly he was slabbing his own collection and disposing of it.&nbsp; Charles Hoskins was a former Mint employee and the first Director of ANACS.&nbsp; He left ANACS in 1976 to become the President of INS when ANACS moved from Washington DC to Colorado Springs.&nbsp; He died in sept 2008.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
