submitted these a while ago. Got an email today saying they've been shipped. They included grades, but I have no idea how to read their code. Help?
Order # Item # Date Mint Denom Grade Variety Superlative

332646 4019321 1895 O $ A5
332646 4019322 1843 O $5 EF SM LETTERS
I'm hoping A3 means AU53, and that A5 means AU55, because then I've done pretty good
the 43-O was bought for melt.

AU55 details
EF40 details (i think this one is right, the top two definitely are)

I called ANACS, two days ago, because I was planning on sending them a submission (widgets), and, the person I spoke to confirmed that they have gone to a new, stronger case.

They do. I got a few coins done for someone and they came back in the new, smaller, holder. To me, it feels "cheesy". Kind of like just clicking pieces together.
Also to note.....3 coins were sent in. 1 coin was a known "problem" coin and the owner just wanted it authenticated and "graded" because it is a key coin.
ALL 3 coins came back in the same type of holders....1 problem coin and 2 no problem coins.
So, it doesn't look like they are differentiating problem coins into different holders anymore....
I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

Got a pic of the new holder? Same label? How much smaller?

You really need to see the side view to understand what I am talking about.
Also, the look/feel of the plastic is just 'different' and I don't like it.....that is more qualitative and hard to describe though

All coins will now be in the new and improved holders even if they are problem coins, they will have the details grade and problem listed just as if they were in the old small holders.
I like this idea- at least you won't have to look for several different boxes in which to store your coins in.
New holder is nice by the way....

Here are some very quick, down and dirty, pics of the new vs the new-old, slabs....
I think these pictures are ebay quality, don't you?
I won't say which is which but I think most will know which is which
