This might be a dumb question but....

Is the label on this 2006 W Burnished ASE missing some information? I just went through some of my collection and found two slabs with the same labeling - one PCGS coin number apart. Checking the PCGS numbers shows both coins grade as SP-69 while the slab label reads "MS-69." The "W mintmark" is the only label indication that the coin is burnished. I've seen other labels mentioning the word "burnished." I don't remember sending these in back in the day and was surprised when I found them



. Was labeling different then?

PCGS changed the grade prefix for 'uncirculated/burnished' ASE from "MS" to "SP" back in 2015.
