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

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 looking to buy it but just came across this in my browsing. I'm not too familiar with how NGC labels things but this one just shows "Brilliant Uncirculated" Not even an MS grade? Is there a reason for that?
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
Quote: 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.

Excellent!
Quote: Which dollars, I would like to check them out
The Presidential dollars. I will need to mock up some full slab photos to demonstrate what I mean.
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
