I just got back a submission of 80+ moderns from NGC and they all have the new slab label. I guess the four prong inserts don't start till January for US coins. Here is the slab with the flash and without. Notice how the hologram on the label stands out with the flash on the bottom of the label.

<< <i>The brown line at the bottom of the front of the label looks different in those pics......
Yeah. Its a hologram beneath the color and the flash brings out the hologram.
The slab design is practically the same and the plastic feels the same. Maybe its changed but time will tell if they scratch up as much as the old ones.

<< <i>the white insert is still a horrendous sight. >>
I miss the old small rattlers and the old small ANACS slabs.

<< <i>I thought and still think the PCGS slab is too big. The NGC slab is horrible because of it's size and that big white insert.
I miss the old small rattlers and the old small ANACS slabs.
I agree. The rattlers and old ANACS are the best.

Boy I wish he could reply here.
For now, they are only putting the EdgeView holders on the top two tiers of service. They still have a lot of the old inserts left, so they want to use those up and won't start using EdgeView until sometime in the first quarter of 2009.
I really like the new label and new hologram. Just like with anything out there, if you can make it, it can be counterfeited. But, it does become harder to do and I also like the new look. I think that NGC was a little overdue for an update to their look, and I feel that the new look is nice and sleek looking.
The new shells seem thicker, they also feel like they will stack better than the previous shell. Not sure how well they would crack out though or how noticable it would be...

<< <i>Neat. Far as the 4 pronged, I have a proof 67 Indian quarter eagle that's in the 3 pronged holder. >>
Oh, that's another thing... there are 3 pronged EdgeView's for certain coins because of mintmark placement. I think they may also use the 3 pronged on smaller coins... I've talked to a few people that have seen small coins (trimes and half-dimes) and they have said that they look like they are floating in the slab... I haven't seen a small coin in one yet, but look forward to seeing how they look.
