    Thanks.

    When did ANAAB cease operation?

    Bob48- Thank you for your research and documentation. I am still looking for a type 1 Washington D.C. cert to finish my set, yet another interesting way to collect coins.

  • bob48bob48 Posts: 457 ✭✭✭

    The new cert found by Conder101 I am calling a type 4.1 It is the type 4 label with the MM ruler on the reverse.
    I do have one but I can't get pictures loaded on this forum.
    If you would like to see it, PM me and I can send you the picture.
    Also anyone I send it to, If you can get picture in here you could post it for all to see,
    Thanks

    Bob

    Those two type 4.1 look great, thanks for posting the pictures of them.

    Anyone got a type 1 cert to show a picture of?
    I have one, no coin as it is a G$10 Eagle but the cert in hand looks different then what I have in the article. The cert and picture are the same but the article picture is just misleading as to how it really looks.

    @bob48
    I just missed out on this one yesterday, someone bought it as I was putting it in my cart. I'm sorry it got away, there can't be too many of these out there. It's a Type 8 transfer but is dated later than Type 8's were supposed to have been made according to your article. Any thoughts?


  • bob48bob48 Posts: 457 ✭✭✭

    Nice type-8 transfer. maybe the person that bought also noticed it was a transfer.
    This is the first one I have seen.
    As far as the late date goes, that is just the transfer date, Don't know why it was not put on a type-9 photo cert.

    I was the lucky one who scored it.
    Not in hand yet...
    I did buy because it's a transfer, only transfer I have ever seen for sale.
    Cool Capitol plastic too.

    I missed that one on eBay. But the title of the coin did not use "photo" in it anywhere.
    Nice holder too!
    Many years ago when I started looking for these I found a lot of transfers, no one was really collecting them until I released my article, then it was over two years before things settled down enough and I could start buying them again. I do have 56 certs with the coins, but I now have a lot of just pictures that were sent to me by fivecents.
    Congrats on the Photo cert. Sandman70gt

    Congrats to @Sandman70gt you got me by seconds. I will have to be content that I was able to score a standard type 8 which I needed from the seller the next day. Now I just have to find a Type 1...

    here is an old anacs submission form for those who would like to see one?

  • CaptHenwayCaptHenway Posts: 32,230 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Bump for old time's sake. I went on the ANACS payroll Nov. 1, 1978, though the first three days I spent driving from Sidney, OH to Colorado Springs.

    Since we're bumping the old thread. An update from my previous post. My search for a Type 1 was successful, just under a year later I was alerted to an auction where I picked this one up. Love these old certs...
    @CaptHenway Any recollection of the first coin you certified?

  • CaptHenwayCaptHenway Posts: 32,230 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Nope.

    I founded ANAAB in 1990, It as put to bed four years after I resigned from the ANA Sept 1998. Until 2002, I was the unpaid consultant that helped keep it alive. Robert Hoge had left for the ANS in 2001 and ANAAB was in the hands of a new intern. The ANA thought they might want to keep it as a member benefit, but they did not want to spend the money for an experienced reliable, authenticator. I convinced Ruthann (CEO) and Patty Finner (President) to either fund it or kill it as I did not want it to embarrass the ANA. At $15 and $8 return postage it was not worth the effort or liability it created. J.P. Martin
