I DO NOT LIKE these slabs
I need this coin for my PCGS type set, but the slab is ugly, upside down and does not match the rest of my coins.

There are some on eBay with the usual PCGS label. Not as many, but they're out there.

YeYeah, I don't know that more is required. I could have gone on to suggest resubmitting to be slabbed differently, but that seemed obvious. He didn't really ask for a solution to the problem. He just stated that he hated them.

When I write too much, people complain. When I'm concise, people complain. What's a poor fellow to do?

Why am I "complaining, insulting, and confused"? I currently have 101 slabs in my type set and this one would be the only one that is different. I will continue to look for one that is in a another slab. I don't like to insult people, but i came pretty close here . . .

100% agree. It is sad this was the best PCGS came up with and even failed to spell America’s correctly. Could be worse…..

I'm sure there'll be many more in regular slabs in a few months.
I collect world proof sets, coins featuring composers, mid-20th century U.S. proof coins, U.S. type coins, and whatever else I want.

Except -- there really was a reason not to use a new rope, they tend to twist and turn, instead of performing the necessary quickly and cleanly.
OP: Buy one and pay to have it reholdered...

I'm not a fan of any slab. Maybe doilies or white labels. True rattlers are okay.

As you always do:
Complain about the complaining.

You were complaining about a slab that you hate, yet there are plenty of options for a different slab.
You're insulting our host, and those who really like the special label.
You're confused when you say it's upside down - it is NOT upside down lol.

If you made a poll, you'd realize most collectors here are probably either indifferent or like these slabs.
Even so, fun thread. Thanks for starting it.

You're insulting our host, and those who really like the special label.
The host will let the poster know if the so-called insult rises to a level with them that calls for them to take an action. Really, it's just an opinion. There is no need to get thine's BVDs in a twist about an opinion about a holder or the coin it contains.
"Two things are infinite: human stupidity and the universe; and I'm not sure about the universe."
-Albert Einstein-Mistakes are natural. But repeated mistakes without reflection are something else. That may be the “stupidity” he was referring to. In research, he admitted uncertainty openly. “If we knew what it was we were doing, it would not be called research, would it?” This shows humility. Even a Nobel laureate accepted doubt. That humility makes the quote less cynical and more observational.

Yes, I'm sure the host doesn't have their knickers in a twist over this thread being created to bash/opine on one of its products.
However, starting a thread with the title "I hate these slabs" on the slab's own forum is classless, just me. Not to mention dancing around breaking forum rule #4.
I may be insulted/offended by the OP's post since I like the label, but I don't have a right to not be offended.
So be it.

It should be used sparingly.4 -

After reading the comments to my post, I changed the title from "hate" to "do not like". There are a lot of good comments and I probably was too harsh at first. Sorry if I offended anyone.

More disappointed than offended I'd guess.0 -

You might like the slab more if it turns out to be a rare slab worth a substantial premium like the despised oversized Regency slabs,

As long as it’s a PCGS or NGC slab, I don’t really care what it looks like. Buy the coin not the holder.

Yep, I can definitely relate…But, if it’s a coin that I really need for the right price; I guess I could look the other way.

You say nothing, because even though you said something, it's equivalent to really saying nothing at all. It's ok. We all do it at times.

The question was rhetorical. However, thank you for taking the time to tell me to shut up.

Threads like this reassure me that I’m not just living in a simulation. No simulation would go to this much length to accomplish so little.

No simulation would go to this much length to accomplish so little."YouTuber Husk IRL corralled three phones with three different AI agents and asked them to perform a simple task- count to 100. They are intelligent enough to know that they can share the task, but then they have to discuss how to do it. Politely. The problem is that they keep agreeing and reinforcing each other over how to do it, and then they never really do it."
