Here's a picture of a 1913 Barber Dime in an early ANA holder. Anyone know from what year?

At the time, the ANA owned the grading service and a professional from the PNG did the finalizing of the grade. The grades were generally conservative.

Would Capt Henway (Tom) know? Didin't he work there for awhile?
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

Yes. He was a grader there.

Yikes!
I haven't submitted any coins for grading. Is that normal, or have things gotten better over the years?

In the early years of slabbing, the vast majority of rare coins were raw unlike today where the vast majority of expensive rarities are already slabbed. There was a significant backlog of coins waiting in line to get graded and slabbed and people were willing to wait several weeks for this service. When PCGS started slabbing coins, the turn around time was measured in months and not weeks.

Did ANACS ever operate out of the ANA in Colorado (before Ohio)? If so, were these from that time? Or are these from the Amos Press / Ohio years? When did ANACS move back to Colorado?
