Actually it's not an ANACS slab. "Coin Vault" was a holder used for coins with that had already been certified (usually with certificates). The company did not grade coins, but just image and repackage them.

Looks similar to an earlier generation accugrade double wide slab. >>
I'm pretty certain that whatever company molded the outer two pieces of those slabs sold them to a number of different companies. I have old Accugrade and PCI photocerts with the same shells right down to the gate marks. What would change customer to customer is the third piece which sat inside the shell and located the coin and printed tag. The corporate hallmark visible in the upper left corner of the reverse pic is actually molded on the insert and visible through the outer shell.

Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.

Wild. Surprisingly enough it is a genuine ANACS number on the slab. G-8500-D (recorded at ANACS as GD8500) was submitted by a dealer that's still very active on May 12, 1986. It was finalized by JP Martin and is a 65/65. I'll find the picture taken at ANACS and let you know if they match.

Can I still get a copy of the original photo certificate?

That's PCCI, not PCI. There was a difference, I believe. (I have one of those too...with a toned morgan in it, pretty cool, imho) >>
That's an old PCI holder. When they switched over to a conventional non-photo slab, there was a transition period where a submitter could select either the old style or new style slab. INS and ACG also produced similar photo slabs.

relicsncoins That is a very nice Ike, I have never seen one in that holder and name combo. ACCUGRADE and Globe, yes those I have seen. Thanks for sharing Bob

Here ya go.
Also interesting that the name Coin Vault was used once again by the TV show using Coin Vault in a different context.

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
