I bought this coin back in the mid 90's before I knew anything about TPG's. I'm looking for any information about the slab itself. The reverse legend is a hologram, so it didn't photograph well, but it's a fairly good representation.

I've included additional images of the coin in case you want to comment on it. The obverse has patches of yellowish tone, not quite the brown color the pics show.

I'm sure Conder will be in with a more detailed description, but what you have there is an original ANACS slab, back when they were an official arm of the ANA. I've read that you can expect good conservative grading in such a slab, and judging from the looks of your coin that's entirely true. I'm seeing one heckuva MS64 in that slab.

I wouldn't crack that one under any circumstances. There can't be many left.

Yeah...sometimes the older slabs have more value than the coin inside. People will collect anything! LOL. That's a fine-looking dollar, BTW.

Oh, I'd pay retail MS64 for that coin all day.

I didn't have any doubts about the dollars grade, just questioned the slab because I haven't seen any other slabs like it. I suspected it was an early Anacs slab but didn't have any way to verify. During that time I had done a minimal amount of research & thought I knew the top TPG's. I have to assume that I bought this one as an Anacs. The only marginal TPG slab I own is a green label PCI I bought around the same time. I have posted that coin here, consensus opinion was it's accurately graded.

As they said it was the very first variety of ANACS slab. It was introduced in late 1989 and thenANACS was sold to Amos Press in early 1990 so that slab design wasn't around very long, probably less than 4 to 6 months. The vast majority of them have een cracked out since then for collections, regradings, crossovers or jus direct submission to the "top two" services. I thik if you went out onto a bourse floor and gathered a random group of 1000 ANACS slabs you might find a dozen or so of these. So maybe 1% of the ANACS slabs are these.
