Lazy Grading
Not only is there no grade assigned- I get that- Services have been doing that for a bit.
Yet. . . no real date? The actual date can't be placed on the insert? Too much effort?!

That is certainly one step above the ungraded label.
My guess is that a dealer had tons of 1971-1974 Silver Ikes and NGC agreed to a reduced bulk price as long as they could just reuse the same label (with the only change being the cert number).2 -
Could be worse. The label could just say ‘COIN’.

It could be a lot more worse. The label could be in cursive and half the young coin collectors wouldn't be able to read it.

I would think there would be other examples I would have stumbled upon in the last few months.1 -

I would think there would be other examples I would have stumbled upon in the last few months.It is an older label, so it was a while back that these were sent in. Maybe some are still around while others could have been cracked and sent to be melted when silver spiked in 2011.
Or it could be a one off/part of a small test batch done for a dealer who then decided against slabbing more.1 -
There's not even NGC's name or logo on there.
Probably a TV infomercial slab that NGC offered the cheapest possible form or bulk grading for.

I don't see a problem here. It's a type representative for Eisenhower dollars of '71 - '74, any date of which would satisfy type requirements.

I see these occasionally with Morgan Dollars as well.
Guess bulk grading promotion related

As already stated elsewhere, TV seller bulk sub. Saves a lot of time printing labels. These are probably the reason for and result of multiple recent bulk blue and brown Ike wholesale buy offers. I sold a bunch of overstock to a fellow dealer who stopped by on his way to a show to blow out what he'd accumulated, and I imagine it was to feed this or some similar promo. And yes they do it on generic date commercial BU Morgan/Peace as well.

The blue box labels were used for all kinds of promotional slabs. You could get them to put just about anything on the label for a modest price - look up Mad Marty.

That's what I think.
I just saw another one today. I believe it was an 1893 $10 gold piece.

Ouch. That stung a little bit.

great idea airplanenut, a 2x2 slab for the smaller coins would be cool - and slab box collectors would have another size to include.

how big do you have to be before you can swallow a 2x2 ? I am not sure I could now, but I have not tried.

I don’t know, but it says right there on the label Not Good for Consumption.
