  Duh! The appearance of the grading label was very bland without the sticker.😉

  Well with the gold sticker, it is a definite crack out candidate.

  Get with the times, it's the roaring 20's and collectors don't want coins. They want stickers.

  In addition to The Weimans I do stock a bottle or two of The Goo Gone.

  I'd prefer a regrade of the plastic, not the coin........ might be a market there......

  The sticker is an easy fix... Can your rotate the coin right side up in the black soap bars easily?

  It's so you can tell exactly which direction the lighting is coming from in pictures.

  That's the back of the slab being pictured. First generation NGC slabs had the NGC logo on the front of the slab with the label on the back. Some marketing genius dreamed up this design so the NGC logo would be prominently displayed in the dealers display case and it was one of the reasons this design didn't last long. Dealers complained about this and they also complained about the black color because brown copper coins didn't look good with such a dark background. Not many coins were slabbed in this holder and most were sent back to be reholdered after the second generation NGC slabs came out.
