The humor of strange labels.

I got a confused chuckle when I saw this new eBay listing so I thought I would share it. Trying to fathom the label choice. Have any questionable label choices or misprint/oddity/error labels to share?

After a confused laugh my next sound was a quiet nooooooooo

    Guessing a bulk submission where the submitter wanted all the same label, still weird.

    When you entertain a custom choice, it can trigger commentary. IMO

    Or the submitter wrote the wrong number on the form.

    I mean, hey, I've got a Roosevelt Dime with ATS' Truman picture from the presidential labels series. Actually, I have its frenemy with Roosevelt's picture too. Same date, same grade.

    Somewhere a while back I saw a slab idea with all of the information contained around the rim. Emphasizing the coin and de-emphasizing the label should be the goal, at least in my mind......

    Yeah, I think so. I don't know anything about the company, or their grading abilities, but I like the idea of making the coin the focus.

    GENI is a European slabbing company.

    So this switching genders has hit grading too. " I'm a nickel but I identify as a quarter".
