They initially started grading the obverse and reverse as different grades and you still see certificates issued by ANACS with 63/64 as a grade, noting that the obverse was graded MS-63 and the reverse was graded MS-64. In today's grading standards at ALL leading coin grading companies, a single grade was assigned. In 1989, ANACS commenced issuing photo certificates and encapsulating coins in tamper-evident holders. The method of this quality of service was copied by other grading companies. The 2009-D coin was made by the Denver Mint.
