The custom text was a long shot, even though I thought they might like another line item for the tab.
I'm surprized the mintage numers aren't already part of the grading information
Am I in the minority when it comes to the way companies format the labels?
I like just the basic info (nomenclature and grade) on a basic label like the example of the 1995-P I posted above
But do most collectors like a lot of info on the label to add context to the origins of the coin?
I decided if I can get the basic info on the coin label I will add a printed "check list" to the inside of the lid for any special attribute the coin has and the total mintage
Such as "First West Point Proof Silver Eagle" and "Total Mintage - 30,000"
Set it up as a table that corresponds to slab location

So I sent NGC a message via Facebook because their web site contact form isn't working
I basically asked about reholder-ing
I wanted to know if was possible to get same basic label information for all of the coins I send in for reholder-ing
And if possible to add a "Total Mintage - XXX,XXX" line
This was part of their response
"we do not offer custom formatting for coins submitted to us, as we need to keep the same standard formatting across submissions we receive."
One thing I have realized is that neither PCGS nor NGC are anywhere close to being consistent with how they format the text on their labels
Any given line could be all caps or sometimes they capitalize the first letter of each word and sometime the use sentence case
Sometimes the same line is bold and sometimes it's not
I have seen the same line 7 different ways depending on the coin
I'm surprised they don't add italic words into the mix
Plus some coins like the 2021 Delaware Crossing Quarter have up to 6 lines of text
All I want is the coin nomenclature, grade and registration number on the standard brown label
Something like this
I decided it might be best to call and after talking with a rep she has confirmed that what I want "might" be possible
I got a bad feeling about this

Thanks, I bought the actual set from a local shop for less than $100 but, as I said, I put it into my binder
Since I decided to do a slab collection I wanted a couple of the RP Presidential dollars and considered sending my Bush and Ike to get them graded
This works out better :)

I picked this set up from eBay for less than $75 shipped
I already have the set in a my CAPS Binder but I wanted the PF 69 RP Dollar for the Slab Collection I started
I'll figure out something to do with the silver medal

That cuddled up to Another Country and Assisted in making replicas of the Morgan and Peace dollars of 2022..
How did those 2022 sets work out ?
If eBay is any indication, they are doing pretty good actually
I bought his set as a curiosity, the back story seemed legit
US Mint didn't make the RP Peace and Morgan dollars because of the Covid-19 related silver shortage
So the CSN got Fiji to make them
These still sell for outrageous prices on eBay but I got my set from a local dealer for at a great price

I'm sure you can request the Reverse to show on the face of the slab, but in the case of a slab why does that matter?
Most of the time you are handling them
I'm hoping that NGC will do a custom text format for all of the coins I send in to be reholder(ed)
I would love the have a line for the mintage
Here is an example of the format I would like for the entire set
FIRST WEST POINT RP CENT
2019 W 1C
REVERSE PF 69 RD
MINTAGE 412,708
6019342-097

I joined NGC and started to do some "browsing"
I selected the Free membership since I'm just starting this collection but next January I'll upgrade to Premium for $159 since you get a $150 credit for doing that
They have a service known as "reholders"
I guess that is the same as reslabing?
For $15 NGC will replace the slab and the label, with the style and information format that you prefer, which seems like a decent deal
Apparently they do not re-grade the coin as long as there is no obvious change to the original grade
This means I can looks for deals on some of the more expensive cons that I want that have slab related issues
I already started last night and in honor of you Buck, I went with a PF69 Cameo 1971-S Ike which I got for $30 and I also found a 2020-W Reverse Proof Nickel
 
My plan is to spend about a hundred dollars per month getting the less expensive coins before I move up to the wallet busters such as the 1995-W or 2019-S ERP ASEs
It's not going to be a large collection since it will be mostly unique or rare coins and will probably fit in an NGC 20 slab box but you never know

I think these privy marked ASEs are to coin collecting what the C8 was to Corvette
The introduction of the mid-engine concept was distasteful to many hard core Corvette enthusiasts but it helped attract a new type of buyer
These privy marks and their association with gaming companies seem like a way to attract people that wouldn't otherwise collect coins
Gamers are a large sector prone to addictive behavior and it could rapidly expand the coin collection universe
However, the problem with the rapid expansion of any hobby is that people exploit uneducated people
The Star privy is a good example
From what I read, they sold for a lot more than their current market value when they were first introduced
I attribute this to FOMO
This new Eagle privy seems to be getting the same attention, people are paying very exorbitant pre-sale prices to get one
I got booted of an ASE Facebook group I was going to post a topic asking why everyone was in such a hurry to get one when they would be a lot cheaper in a couple months
I guess the sellers that run the group didn't want people questioning their pre-sale prices
I have a bad feeling that these privy marks are going to catch on in the short term which will be good for US Mint sales
But in the long term it may devalue the linage making bad for collectors and resellers
The mint has a DC license and I would not be surprised if they do DC inspired privy marks in the years to come

The Korean War commemorative I've read is considered one of the ugliest
I like the Korean War coin, not really seeing how anyone could say it the ugliest

Do these "coins" only have one side?
Lucky for me they have 2 and the reverse of this one will be what you see first

@Boba Debt: Exactly what is it about the coin's then-and-now theme that you don't like?
The composition sucks
The awkward placement of the old build over the new building
The large blank areas
IMO, just changing the order of the placement look better to me
I did this in about 5 minutes with images clipped from the net
