1999 SHQ Silver Proof PCGS Slab Question.

direwolf1972

I'm feeling lazy tonight and didnt do any photo's. This pic is from the auction I won. What I'm wondering is how common are these slabs with the obv facing the grading label side? I've looked at a lot of them on eBay while I was trying to win a set and I dont remember seeing many at all. From what the seller said, PCGS had the obv. facing the grading label for less than a year then switched it to its current format. Is this information correct? Just wondering since its always nice to know as much as possible about the history of the coins you own even if they are modern coins.

I don't know the answer to your question, but that is the first time I've seen a state quarter obverse side up in a slab. And I've seen quite a number of slabbed state quarters.

Aren't those the ones that have the flag, which are available to bulk submitters?

I think [without looking at one] that the flag series has the label upside down.

In answer to your question no flag on the reverse.

I have no idea but made the same mis-judgement in my Dansco.

Initially the Dansco was all "heads up" to obviously show the date and MM. So all the State quarters went in Heads up. After a couple of years or stupidity, I realized that "heads up" was no longer "dates up"! Did the same thing on my 2x2's but have since changed those.

I suspect that PCGS realized the same thing that I did and slabbed some of the early coins as heads up without fully realizing the design change.

Most of my 1999 state quarters were holdered obverse side up.

for the first few months they were slabbed in this fashion, but I forgot the reason why, or why they stopped
