I often wondered why grading services do not flip the labels on the rear of slabs to match that of the coin encapsulated.

I always thought it should match the coin orientation since the observer can more easily check the label when viewing the coin.

Case in point: When I was reading the recent thread of GR58's 32D quarter his photos of the reverse had the coin up and the label down.

For American coins and those of other nations that use "Coin" orientation I think this would be advantageous.

It's like that because the NGC label doesn't show anything. It's just a deterrent to stop what would be slab counterfeiters.

PCGS Does the orientation correctly, at least on ATB and State Quarters

And ANACS Does the same thing NGC does
