    I have the 38 proof dime! Can you post the 1909-S VDB?
  • coindudeonebaycoindudeonebay Posts: 1,735 ✭✭✭
    I'll dig around and see if I can get a picture of it. Might be best to PM me to remind me.

    Wow, didn't realize mine was such a new vintage! I blacked out the address of the original owner, not sure if the guy still collects or is even still alive, I left the name so if anyone knows him I think that would be pretty cool. These are just quick phone pictures so don't kill me over the quality. The last picture I took just to show the embossed seal.

    The one posted above me is the ones I have seen, the earlier posters examples of early on issues, I think I somewhat remember a dealer friend of mine who has long since passed having ones that looked like that noting a space for transfer of owner ship. The dates on the earlier ones would have been about the time when I started collecting coins. neat !

    Here is the oldest (and only) ANACS sample certificate I have seen. I'm not sure how many of these were sent out, if any. The "Void" was on the certificate when I picked it up as was the writing on back.

    Never saw one of those either. After I left.

    For the record, and for the information of those not familiar with ANACS ccertificates, the "A-0002-A" serial number was never used for a regular certificate.

    The earliest Washington, D.C. certificates just had a four-digit number. They they went to the A0001/B0001/C0001 numbers used concurrently, with each incoming coin written into one of three log books on a rotating basis, such as A on Monday, B on Tuesday, etc.

    There were no D prefix letters. When they moved to Colorado Springs in the Fall of 1976, they started using suffix letters beginning with E-0001-A and worked their way up from there.

    Great thread...I am in the never seen one that old. Neat how things have evolved over the years! That Morgan looks better than a 63 in the photos! I like the 'consensus opinion of subjective factors' that was written in...

    There's gotta be some rule about quoting yourself.

    So, no one found this funny? Some certification service, eh?

    Was at a coin club meeting tonight and asked Ken Bressett, Mary Sauvain and J.P. Martin about this. None of them remembered it.
