Basically the larger the number the more generous the market grading became.</p><p><br /></p><p>There are also different big A holograms ... including a blue used on details coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>But there must have been something weird in some database with the two letter combinations. There&#039;s posted a conversion chart of two digit prefixes for the two letters. </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.anacs.com/contentPages/BarCode.aspx" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.anacs.com/contentPages/BarCode.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://www.anacs.com/contentPages/BarCode.aspx</a></p><p><br /></p><p>But while 1xxxx is a code for CDxxxx there are gaps, e.g 0 and 7. So both 75 and 70001 postdate the XXnnnns even though the database keys differ. I can post 75 and 125 if somebody needs to see them.</p><p><br /></p><p>And remember somewhere in there ANACS was sold to Anderson Press and created the blue labels.</p><p><br /></p><p>The yellow labels were the &quot;takeover&quot; by Driving Force LLC and the move back to Colorado. Several times during their ownership and the most recent ownership they&#039;ve attempted to improve their image...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
