PCGS Label

[BadThad]

This was the seller response:

Dear 1909s-vdb,

I've never seen anything like it myself. It is not a sticker. The insert is between the sealed plastic. Also the serial number is on the reverse. Very unusual.

The plot thickens! Time to call PCGS.

I ran the number yesterday morning. The # is correct but that's how the China deal works. They research the #'s to put on the slabs of all different co. so the un-knowing buyer looks up the # and it checks out; the correct # which means nothing towards a coins authenticity!

I'm Pretty Sure This Was Done For A Major Distributor, I Thinking Chattanooga Coin,Inc. Or The Cable T.V. Coin Shows, I've seen these somewhere, just can't figure it out yet, But We'll See!

I have noted special slabs for high volume dealers too, I never seen this particular one. I'm sure it will be fine (I hope) but one has to be careful!

I know this seller for several years. Joe knows his die varieties. If it were a fake slab, he'd be the first to call it so. I also know that he gives full and absolute disclosure of every coin he offers. We've both commiserated that it's a real pain for a buyer to return a coin for unexpected reasons. He's just being overly cautious.
I've seen similar PCGS labels, not with a picture though. It makes sense that this is something that a TV shopping network would market. It would make less sense for Chinese counterfeiters to invent a new slab style, they want their fakes to blend in, not stick out.

"...It would make less sense for Chinese counterfeiters to invent a new slab style, they want their fakes to blend in, not stick out."

And this is a great point Chris makes about a potential fake slab...

Must have been a promotion specifically for the 1995 DDO.

[liveandievarieties]

I wish they'd do the same for other varieties, I really like the photo-holder type.

[coinman2009]

Yes yes yes!!! I'd Love To See One For My fs1102's Stage's B,C,And D! Very Nice Labels!

Perhaps someone or more, should suggest this type of new style formatting to their slabs. Or even, maybe, tack on a buck or two more for the new 'visual' addition?
