nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15485 Posts	Posted 09/04/2014 7:50 pm Perhaps the seller manipulated the photos to show the PCGS label below the coin? Seller states ... No Photoshop .. hmmm David Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff

I believe it's because the other side of the label is the Flag of the state and they wanted THAT to be oriented correctly along with the coin. So o'le George got the shaft. -----Burton 50+ year / Life / Emeritus ANA member (joined 12/1/1973) Life member: Numismatics International, CONECA Member: TNA, FtWCC, NETCC, EveryCountry (online) coin club Owned by three cats and a wife of 40+ years (joined 1983) Author: 3rd Edition of the Sample Slabs book, https://www.sampleslabs.info/ Report this Post to the Staff

Yeah, but that won't explain why the obverse label is upside-down when you orient the slab correctly. I suspect this is PCGS finding yet another way to screw up a job. Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 09/05/2014 3:02 pm Beacuse that is the way they do the state flag quarters. And not the label is correctly oriented. If the flipped the lettering over and you put the slab in the "correct orientation, George would be upside down. So if you display these showing the flags the State Quarter reverse are all right side up and the flags are above them. If you display them with the labels showing the labels are all right side up but below the coin and all the obverses are right side up as well. With these state quarter/flag slabs it is the reverse that is the important one. Edited by Conder101 09/05/2014 3:03 pm Report this Post to the Staff
BStrauss3 Pillar of the Community United States 4594 Posts	Posted 09/05/2014 9:29 pm It's not upside down. George is right side up looking left and the label is completely readable. On the other side the flag is at the top, correctly oriented and the state side of the coin below it is also completely readable. If they did the label any other way, somebody would be upside down. -----Burton 50+ year / Life / Emeritus ANA member (joined 12/1/1973) Life member: Numismatics International, CONECA Member: TNA, FtWCC, NETCC, EveryCountry (online) coin club Owned by three cats and a wife of 40+ years (joined 1983) Author: 3rd Edition of the Sample Slabs book, https://www.sampleslabs.info/ Report this Post to the Staff
