Question About the slab on a FR 02 Morgan I Just got Back

CarsonCityGold

Here's a picture of a Morgan I just got back today. It was sent in on the quarterly freebie. Notice anything unusual about the slab? No series number or coin number. A little strange. Just a minor typo or something new ??

Something new and thank God. The other crap garbages up the slab.

Just thinking out loud:

PCGS had to change something with the insert for Morgans simply to make room for all the new stuff now in play as a result of doing VAMs... VAM number and name, Top 100, etc., plus any pedigree information.

Series number and coin number always struck me as nothing more than "noise" that served no real purpose to folks buying or selling coins.

The new slabs look sort of plain-Jane now, but that well-used dollar ROCKS! Nice...

Thank you! That is the confirmation piece I needed to see.

EagleEye posted one of those a week ago but I wasn't sure if it was a change in the slab or just an error label. From information in the other thread, plus this one, we know that they did make a change in the slab label and that the changeover took place sometime between 10/21 and 10/29.

Does anyone have a PCGS shipment that was sent back during that time period that had the old labels?

Other new/interesting information that I picked up this past weekend:

Just recently PCGS has started using Coin and Series numbers on Modern Commemorative. Until now they have used the same label format as the Bullion coins. (PCGS 12) This does not create a new variety though, it simply means that Modern Commems can be found in both PCGS 12 and PCGS 13 slabs.

The 2005 Commem dollars with the coin and series numbers are very odd. The Marshall dollar in Unc is Series 1002 Coin 101. In Proof it is Series Coin 102. The Marine dollar in Unc is Series 1002 Coin 103, and in Proof Series Coin 104.

The Uncs are both Series 1002 but neither of the proofs have series numbers. What's up with that? Of course now they have dropped the coin and series numbers so it doesn't really matter.

My grades where made available on 10/26........all coins have old labels.

I had a grading that completed 11/3 that still has the old labels......not Morgan $1's though.....

Odd, they must be using both label types at the same time. (It isn't just on Morgans because I believe Eagleeye's coin was a Flying eagle cent.)

ANACS, back in 1997 used two different hologram colors on one batch of coins I submitted, and they were all in the same series.

I hope others will respond to you with their submittal results.

Thanks Mozin, I didn't know when the change over from ANACS 13 to ANACS 14 occured. I knew it was in the late 1990's but that was as close as I had.
