What is the strangest notation you have on a slab label?

  • I don't own any SEGS slabs but I've read some bizzare notations on their inserts.
  • I just saw a ANACS slab that had MPD-001 on it. What's that mean in ANACS lingo?

  • Thats not ANACS lingo. Thats error colelctors lingo: Miss Placed Date and the number which error collectors use to identify that coin and date.

    I know there is a SEGS insert, somewhere, that has stated, "FedEx Damaged" (or, something close to that).

    I own a PCI coin with "EX-PCGS MS65" on the insert. I guess PCI isn't used to having PCGS coins come there way for crossover and placed that notation on the insert without a request to do so. I also own a few PCI coins with the insert, "Novelty Coin or Fantasy Coin.

    I also think Jeremey's ANACS problem coin has about as many discriptors as will possibly fit!

    It's also comical the way PCGS will edit an insert, such as "Long Islan" for the Long Island Commemorative. There are also others.

    Found the thread that discusssed it, but alas, no photo.

    New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.

  • I saw one with "NFL _______ " (the guys last name) on a green label.......
  • Thats a pedigree. The owner of the set was a former NFL player.

    Jeremy...That one takes the cake. Thats a lot of writing for such a small slab.image

    The SEGS "Fed Ex damaged" and "Ex PCGS graded" are both funky slab notations. Larry Briggs comes up with some radical ideas.image

    What would really be funny with the Ex-pcgs coin would be if PCI downgraded it!! image

    Mutilated would have covered it on Jeremy's coin.

    I remember the thread about that SEGS coin that had "Damaged by FedEx" on the label.

    I also seem to recall ACG holdering a 1920-D Pilgrim half, noting the designer's initial as a mintmark.
