Can someone decipher the colors on the ANACs holders?

What do they mean?

the yellow, blue, etc.
WTB... errors, New Orleans gold, and circulated 20th key date coins!

    They used to use the yellow labels for problem coins and noted the problem on the label such as "SCRATCH" or "CLEANED". Later, they just used the same blue label as for the regular graded coins but continued to note the problem on the label. I am talking about the early small sized white slabs. Not sure about the newer large sized slabs.

    Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.

    As a data point: I have a problem-free MS66 1oz Rhodium medal from The Cohen Mint which is in a yellow ANACS holder.

    I revised my original post to clarify that my comments pertained to the older small white slabs. Is your coin in one of the newer larger sized slabs?

    Not much anymore as they basically used them intermixed as ownership changed hands.

    Thats what I was thinking, but I just wanted to confirm! To make sure I wasn't crazy!

    Yes, it's one of the newer ones (not just the yellow rectangle in the white holder). It's very comparably sized compared to PCGS/NGC slabs with a translucent body:

    All the holders of that vintage (fairly recent) are that yellow color. It's not a problem or anything.
    The slightly older ones are similar holders with blue inserts.

    Here is some history on ANACS slabs through up through 2006. Unfortunately, the more recent yellow & blue slabs aren't included though.

    It seems all the grading services periodically change the style and color of their slab labels which helps determine the time period when they were graded and slabbed.

    The old white holders were used until 2007 -- when ANACS was in Austin, they continued to use
    the white holders for problem coins. Be careful of Trade $ in the old white holders with the "Austin"
    style label, as counterfeits have been made of these (both the coin and the holder are fake).

    They switched to the blue labels with the new holder in 2005-2006, and kept using the blue labels
    until mid-2008. Coins sent in for reholder in blue label holders are re-encapsulated in the latest
    style holder, but with a blue label.

    The gold label started in mid-2008 (not sure of the month) and are used for all submissions since then.
