State quarter slabbing question

AmericanSilverEagleCoins

I see several different styles of slabbing state quarters from PCGS. Some slabs have the obverse under the white label. Some have the reverse under the white label. Some have the reverse under the new flag label so that the white appears at the bottom of the obverse. How does PCGS determine which way to slab? Is it submitters choice or a standard process with the flags?

Personally I like the reverse under the white label. With the flags the print in on the bottom of the obverse.

Good question. Wish I could help. Maybe someone who knows will answer.

You know, it's funny you mention this. I asked a similiar question in the Q&A forum to David Hall last week (hopefully he answers on Tuesday). I think it is just sloppiness. I have had several coins graded by PCGS with different variations on the label. I have some commeroratives with the date in the middle and name in upper left, and some with the date in the upper left and name in the middle.

I've never sent a statehood quarter in but the dozen or so Morgans and Peace dollars
have been in identical slabs.
Today at a show I noticed a half dozen varieties of PCGS slabs.
Some I wouldn't have known were PCGS if I hadn't turned them over !

Though variety may appeal to some , I prefer my collection to have a
uniform appearance. Is that unreasonable ?
What's wrong with a standard, recognizable package ?

just my opinion.

Sounds like it is time for another link to the varieties of PCGS holders thread. Varieties of PCGS slabs.

Mintluster, on the commems pay particular attention to PCGS # 7, 8, 12, & 13. That should explain the differences.

ASEcoins, White label? Also when PCGS first started slabbing the state quarters they followed their standard procedures and slabbed them head side out. Later since somany people were requesting it they changed and started slabbing them state side out. It used to be the state flag holders were a special item done for a particular person, now I believe it is just a special request item but there is a large bulk slabbing requirement, 50 of each state or something like that. I don't know all of the details.
