An interesting piece of ANACS history with unusual pricing history

I just picked this up off of eBay. I like it not just for the coin but also
for the neat ANACS certification. The original invoice with pricing information and the price
advertisement is along with the coin and certificate. I thought you might find it interesting.

I assume coins purchased 40 years ago would be more expensive today.
That is not the case, as is shown here. (I purchased this for $160.00.)

Interesting..... Thanks for the information. I would have thought the same.... Cheers, RickO
Awesome snapshot into collecting, pricing, dealer and certification history. Thanks for posting!
That is cool anyway but extra cool with all that documentation.

Never a slave to one plastic brand will I ever be.
If I recall correctly, Paul Sims would take out full-page ads in COINage and Coins magazines during the late 1970s and early 1980s. This coin may have been listed in one of those issues.

I think it lasted longer than early 80's.
Maybe late 80's or mid 90's
Edited to add that you may have just been focusing on a specific time frame.
He ran a lot of stuff through us.
Based on the date on the certificate, probably in a Coin World ad late January or early February 1982.
On a side note:
Have you ever run across a coin later in life that you could swear was one you graded while at ANACS?
I've always been curious.

Other than the 1870-S Half Dime and a couple of specific 1804 Dollars?

Pretty interesting and nice to have that paperwork with it. Cool find.

I am actually thinking of having it all professionally matted and framed for exhibit.

That's neat! You should totally do that
