Would there be any benefit to collectors if the coin had a "Graded Date" on the label?

Sometimes I see where people are concerned about a coin toning in the holder. If you knew that it was encapsulated ten years ago versus two weeks ago that might ease your mind.

Storage conditions also matter (heat and high humidity will accelerate toning, since the slabs are not air-tight). Collectors can already guess when a coin was graded, based on the slab details. Your point is one that causes some collectors to stick to older slabs.

"Graded Date" on the label would certainly make it easier to find the coins graded during the tighter periods.
I’d love it, but it won’t happen.

Great idea, dude.

Don't need it. Don't want it.
There is already too much information on the insert.
I say get rid of the serial number along with the barcode.
Even the date an mintmark are not necessary (as the coin shows this information).
Also the grade: don't need nor don't want the "MS" designation. Just a number will work. In fact, we
don't need the "6" in the grade as you can look at the coin and see it is mint state.
Also, the PCGS name. We already know it is a PCGS graded coin- so don't need nor want that neither.
Just a single number for the grade and really. . . that's all I need or want.
Yes, particularly for red/red-brown copper and gold. It shows stability.
It would also be helpful to know who graded or even more boldly, who submitted a coin (as the old ANACS photo certificates did the latter). I think it would be quite interesting. Of course it won't happen for security reasons.
I think it would be a very bad idea to include the grader's name. Collectors could find out his phone number and call him to argue with him about the grades they got.
Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.
What difference would that make? Just because a coin was graded during a supposedly tighter grading period, doesn’t say anything about that particular coin.

As a politician once famously said......
Please don't open Pandora's box. There are enough things on the slab which is beginning to look like NASCAR.

No. No. And, wait for it ... please ... No.

How about something like, "Fifth Try?"
Not necessary.
I believe it is unnecessary... even regarding the tarnish question...that applies more to storage conditions and coin surface condition prior to slabbing. Cheers, RickO
Not necessary at all.

Yeah, yeah, sure, sure. Then you can look it up on your calendar. Perhaps you might even see that it was graded on a Friday and Finalized on a Monday. No doubt you'd have to crack it out and send it back in for a regrade.
Some of the old holders (most notably PCI) are known to impart toning rather than protect from it. In fact there are some old green PCI holders that state the percentage of "white" or "red" on the label. I have several that say 90% or 95% white, but clearly have toned in the holder over the years.
