The collection thus far
This is what I consider to be the "low hanging fruit" of what I currently want
I still need the Bush C&Cs Reverse Proof but it always has the version of the label that I like for the C&C coins so now I just have to wait for a good deal
13 of these will be submitted for reholders with the simple Brown Label and 2 Line Text Format
Next I will work on the 3 3 ASEs that I want, BUT I don't want to submit them for reholders so finding 2 of them with the correct period brown labels will be difficult
The 2019 S is easy but the 1995 W and 2008/2007 always seem to be reversed, which doesn't make sense to me

I had to return 2 of the coins I received yesterday
A 2105 P Kennedy Presidential dollar that had a badly scratched up holder
It had a current label and I got a great deal on it, so that was a bummer
They are supposed to exchange it for another but we will see
And a 1979 Type 2 SBA - It was supposed to be the newest label and it even had my prefered label format but they shipped one with a 2001 era label

I fixed a rotated Ike slab this way. It worked surprisingly well. That being said, try at your own risk!
I also used this process to fix a rotated coin and it did not mar or otherwise damage the corner of the holder
BUT I wasn't as aggressive as the guy in the video
Quote:
The PCGS labels for the 2015 dollars are especially annoying. The front label is "special" and all the grading information is on the back label.
Which dollars, I would like to check them out

I like this set up way better than your quarters album
Did you print the backer boards
If you did, you should duplicate the process for your quarter album
EDITED TO ADD
I just did the math and this layout doesn't (horizontal) work for the quarters because you have 6 coins per subject
So that only works in the vertical layout |

As I receive my coins I'm starting to realize that it's not the excessive lines of text that bother me as much as the artwork they use to embellish the label
I'll use my Kennedy Presidential C&Cs Dollar as an example
I prefer the simple 2 line format like the SBA on the left side of the below image, but it's impossible to find certain coins with this format, especially the C&C coins
I bought a coin like the second version - 4 lines of text left justified
I don't like the excessive lines of text for normal coins such as when they add "Silver Reverse Proof Set", "Official Mint Proof Set" etc.
3 of the Rev PF Presidential coins that I have bought are like this and I think I will be okay with this format for this particular series of graded coins
The 3rd version with the centered text is okay but it's impossible to get the newer coins with centered text
I have an Ike C&Cs dollar like this version and I will either get it reholdered or just sell it if I find the left justified version
The 4th and 5th example with the color art work seem to be what I really don't like.
I prefer the slab be more about the coin and less about the label
Plus that signature option adds nothing to the value of the slab for me
The last example with 5 lines of text just seems way to overly descriptive, very busy and very small in person
I'll reholder a most of my graded collection with the simple 2 line text format but I might just go with the 4 line text format for the Presidential C&C Dollars

It's my impression that ebay doesn't encourage 'buyers to contact sellers directly with offers--if the listing doesn't support offers up front. Just my impression...
eBay doesn't want people conducting sales outside of eBay
A seller can send a specific person an offer for any item they have for sale through eBay
Quote:
Love the presentation case!
If I can't find something to use it for I'll let you have it for the cost of shipping
Quote:
Nice set!
It is a nice set for PF-68s, they have a lot of eye appeal

And there it is!
Yes, I have to be careful of what I tell her about hobby related issues

Which "his" . MY wife bought the set from the that blocked me so for full price so he didn't really lose anything
Quote:
It is a nice set either way.
I agree and I'm having a hard time figuring out why they are 68s
I might just have to change the concept of my slab collection to include any grade as long as I like it
After all, I have seen some affordable 70s that I passed on because my target grade was 69

It was a BIN for $135 with no option to "Make an Offer"
I have messaged sellers many times over the years and made them offers
Some accept then, some counter, some pass
I have never had anyone politly say no and then block me
But after posting this I went to the second listing and asked the seller if he found the coins yet.
Then I realized they are not all PF 69s 
SO I guess I dodged a bullet on that one |

I don't know if it is possible but I would drop the redundant list of names per row and just go with a dated header row and centered set titles
I'm pretty sure Valley Coin might be able to work this out for him if he can't print the pages himeself

I love the collection but you might not love my following comment because you may have already considered this
Why didn't you just keep all 6 coins of the same person in a vertical row
Seems like the CAPS A Page was designed for that
6 rows and 5 columns
You could do the same set up for your inovation dollars in the T pages
I quickly photoshopped the first column of the first page to demonstrate

My two biggest peeves are when the coins are not facing straight up ("clocked" incorrectly)
I'm not sure of why this ever happens.
If I paid to have a coin graded and it came back obviously clocked wrong I would hope that the grader would fix it for free

I agree, slabbed coins can be a challenge to photograph.
Probably need to use indirect light

Boba Debt: Nice idea on the list in the lid box!
Thanks, it gave me a way to have additional info about the coins that NGC wouldn't put on my labels
After much deliberation I have decided to only reholder the more common coins of my collection with the current standard brown label
I want to get 3 ASEs - 1995 W Proof, 2008 with 2007 Reverse Variation and the 2019-S Enhanced Reverse Proof
I was really not wanting to send them in to get reholdered so my solution is to buy an example of each with the time frame appropriate Brown Label, which isn't that hard to do

Not a bad day on eBay :)
So are you jail breaking these?
Putting them into pages or boxes?
Or something else?
Most of my collection is in CAPS Binders
But the Bicentennial set made the cut for my very selective "NGC XX-69 Slab Collection" and I found a set graded at PF 69 Ultra Cameo for $135 on eBay
