While the coin and it's grade are most important, competition for higher value can be found right on your slab's label. First Strike, Last Strike, First Day of Issue, Advanced Release, Anniversary Issue, and on and on... For complete uniqueness and really rare provenance pushing your coin to incredible values, what are some of the new labels of the future you'd like to see...
"First Coin Struck Period"
"First Parking Lot Find"
"Most Milk Spots"
"Clearest Fingerprint"
"Most Likely to Tarnish"
"First Hour Struck"
"Second Day of Minting"
"Pre-Advanced"
"First Coin With the Longest Label Printed on the First Moment of Minting Seen by the Mint Director"

AU sticker for MS coins.
Absolutely Under Graded.
I would like
“Perfect slab corners”
“Fingerprint of Criminals collection”
And new beans
Like a Brown bean as this coin is as ugly as 💩
A dark green bean as this coin cost me a small fortune
A white bean as this coin has been dipped so many times no other color is possible
A red bean so people look at the coin (signifies nothing, but is eye catching)
My current registry sets:
20th Century Type Set
Virtual DANSCO 7070
Slabbed IHC set - Missing the Anacs Slabbed coins
"Miss Congeniality".
"For what it's worth"
"Authentic John Albanese Fingerprint"
I can guarantee that there would be a few here that would get into a fierce bidding war to own it.

Great! Just what we need, more ideas for the TPG'ers!
Althought it's a great marketing tool for them to separate us from our money.

Stop sending this crap to us to grade.
Better luck next time/

Some collectors like the provenance of a coin listed on the slab label so why not "Ex. Walmart Parking Lot"?

I like that "Infinity Ultra Limited"...that would grab a slew of collectors...anything ultra has to be special.
A label with a small counter on it - "This coin has been submitted XX times"
Cherry Picked from Dealer
Original Bank Roll Hunted
Never been licked.
If you are caught questioning the grade, this label will self-destruct in 5 seconds.

MS60-
Many years ago "Mad" magazine had an article "Flags of Unknown Nations" that was quite imaginative. How about a "certification" that says they don't know where the coin was certified but it's still a "nice" coin?
I'd like to see coins graded MS63, 64, 65, etc, without any kind of PQ or premium sticker designations telling you you're too stupid to understand when a coin is top notch for the grade. Flame suit on.

No offense to CAC sticker honks that hate people who have learned to grade coins. We are definitely a dying breed. ;-)

The Ricko approved sticker for sure.

I'm not up on the latest in labels... but if you want to see some nice lapels, check out my newest newp in another thread

One thing I have wanted to do is really mess up a common 1921 Morgan dollar in every way conceivable and submit to ANACS, just to see how many of the problems they could fit onto the label. Whizzed, cleaned, bent, graffiti, rim damage, artificial toning, holed, ...
... screwed, glued, tattooed.
You'd get charged for an oversized holder if they need more space to describe how much of a mess it is.
