For all who rely on the plastic as opposed to the coin, I humbly submit some examples from my own growing personal collection for your perusal that could cause some reason for reflection

Beautiful Silver Medal graded by PCGS as MS-69 RED


Miniature example of an American Silver Eagle graded by ICG as MS-67


And my personal favorite, FINEST KNOWN, NGC Proof 89 Ultra Cameo

Well, I'm in Baltimore and I dropped a slab off at both NGC and PCGS because of Taisho year coins in the corresponding Showa year labeled slab. Same coin type, but getting the Emperor wrong does change the date a wee bit.

Do PCGS still list an 1873-S Seated Dollar in its pop?

Glad to see we have not lost our sense of humor- well played

Pretty sure the "RD" is for Round!

OK, but what's the "NWRS"?

I really like that eagle design on the medal.

(Whoops- sorry- that's OT here, isn't it? In this case I guess we're actually supposed to be discussing the plastic!)

Mechanical and other errors on slab labels. Fun collecting idea. I never really thought of that.

Here's a pair savoyspecial had last summer. You may have seen them.





There are some other funny ones here.

I remember seeing a SEGS slab that had the notation "Damaged by Fed Ex" on the label.
