    Is that on ebay right now....I've seen that before...I remember thinking the picture must've been tweaked a bit too much because of the color of the slab ticket...

    I'd fork over some bucks for that one, I think it's unique in a special way.

    The more I look, the more I like it. But what is the deal with the yellow label??

    I think I'll play with the image a bit and bring the label back to green, might be whole different coin then.

    OK, when I tweak it to get a standard green label, it's actually quite ugly.

    Tweak it to a blue label, it's downright putrid.

    Deadhorse....That label typing and bar code tells me it is a green label, so I guess it is quite ugly instead of downright putrid.image

    Sample Slab # PCGS 9 On Cameron's web site has a yellow label (But it has a world coin in it).

    Link To Cameron's Site

    The auction description also says "OLDER YELLOW PCGS HOLDER"

    One of our resident slab experts can correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe PCGS did have a yellow insert at some point...not quite that same shade, but still yellow. I might have one in the safe.....I'll check.

    I have seen yellow labels before. The pigment in some of the green labels fades and turns them yellow.

    looks like a Bondman's auction picture.

    Am I right?

    If so beware it will not look like that in person.

    Bondman's auctions states he will refund all shipping fees...no risk here except for cash flow.

    Three of my top ten toned Morgans are from him over the years.

    Green label tweak, slab just darkens a bit, looks about right, actually.

    Blue label tweak, slab becomes light blue.

    I suspect it is either a green label or a green label that has aged to a slight yellow tint and the pic is enhanced. Just a guess based on my limited imaging skills.

    I don't think it's ugly, if that's what it actually looks like. I am pretty sure I've had a PCGS coin with a yellow label.

    That is a PCGS 4 slab issued between Jan 1990 and mid 1995. These start out as green but the colors are not stable. They can be found in any color from Canary yellow through green to the same Sky blue used on todays slabs. In mid 95 the font was changed and they solved te color problems with the label. I have only seen one PCGS 5 slab whose label has changed color.
