I would agree with 63RB. Perhaps even 64RB. I have a few coins in the old small ANA holders (they are quite collectible in and of themselves and will bring premiums irrespective of the coin inside) and have found them to be accurately graded for the most part, or slightly under modern market grades. The early ANA/ANACS small white holders were not well sealed, though, and coins inside can sometimes tone in less than desirable ways. The last series of ANACS small white holders (before the change to the modern large-size slabs) don't seem to have that issue as often. The ANA / ANACS / NCI Photo Certificate coins are also very collectible, and they were still using the American Numismatic Association branding and logos back then as well. In my opinion it is not a good idea for the company that literally wrote the book on modern grading standards to have a vested ownership interest in the certification and grading process, and that is probably at least one reason why the ANA now only has an advertising relationship/agreement with NGC.

I also think it looks better than 63rb. Nice coin!  IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Here is information about your slab: ANACS Slab Generation 1 Produced from Feb 1989 - Jun 1990. It is ANACS' 11th Generation of certification following the 10 generations of Photo Certificates. This holder is the 1st generation slab style holder issued by the ANA prior to being purchased by Amos Publishing and being re-labeled ANACS. The slab is uncommon and it is a keeper. |

Coins in these slabs are generally properly graded. I wouldn't worry about it, in fact, many are conservative and may grade higher by today's standards. Let me add - toning appears stable after all these years, and coin looks as if it could grade MS-64 or higher. If offered at auction as is, it should bring a premium.

No need for better pictures at all.
Those slabs are easily recognizable and they are highly sought after and bring premiums.
They are legit, respectable and known for having a conservative grade.

Grading will always be subjective even amongst TPG's. 63RB seems correct to me. |

Here is a document you may be interested in regarding the history of the ANACS slabs that was posted by Burton Strauss III (BStrauss3 in this thread) elsewhere I found interesting. https://docs.google.com/presentatio...nAA51ErVhLf8It is a old legit slab perhaps undergraded to the standards of today in these old slabs generally sometimes if its been held by one collector since it was graded, but if its been held by numerous collectors who never cracked it out and resubmitted it its possible in that case it could be over graded. Regardless the old slabs are desired by some collectors beyond the coin itself. |

I never responded on a grade.
I can see this in a 64 holder easily.

Grade looks good. I have had some luck getting Indian Head cents in old ANA slabs into higher grades at PCGS. Last one went from a 62RB to a 65RB! |

Now THAT was educational! I knew ANACS was somehow affiliated with the ANA in the past, but I didn't know the details. Edited by Wideglide
