Bret Pillar of the Community United States 1913 Posts	Posted 03/23/2016 10:46 am I'm working on my Sacagawea dollar series and have a question regarding NGC labels. For some reason, NGC doesn't even show on their website that they still offer Sacagawea labels, but I've seen plenty of NGC 2015 Sacagawea's with special Sacagawea labels. So, their website doesn't have representative illustrations for me to look at. So, here's my question. I've noticed two different size Sacagawea labels in the newer edge view slabs. Smaller: Larger: All of the NGC slabs I currently have contain the smaller size labels. Is the larger label newer or older? Or, are they offering both? My picky retentiveness compels me to keep things consistent. Report this Post to the Staff

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 03/23/2016 12:33 pm The larger label is probably newer. They did a change in the hologram several months ago and the image you have of the large label has the most recent hologram. What does the hologram on you small label look like. (Be advised that the hologram change could have taken place during either one of the front labels. To know which you would have to find an example of a front label with both types of reverse hologram. It is possible that they may have changed both at the same time.) Report this Post to the Staff
moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 03/23/2016 1:35 pm NGC recently changed ALMOST all of their "old" labels to a completely new system, even for plain old "normal" US coins. I actually like the newer labels better. The other thing to note on the change is that the "purple" labels (coins with a problem, such as incorrectly cleaned) and the new "brown" label, which is for righteous no-problem coins now look much closer to being the same. You have to READ what's on the label, now, because the colors between the two are very similar at a first glance. Report this Post to the Staff
Bret Pillar of the Community United States 1913 Posts	Posted 03/23/2016 4:56 pm Thanks for the information. I called NGC and spoke with a nice lady in their customer service department. She told me that the Sacagawea labels are still available, but only to dealers. That's OK. At an additional $15 a pop for something that literally costs the same to print as their regular label, I wouldn't be getting one anyway. It's pretty clear that NGC is trying to discourage collectors from submitting. Report this Post to the Staff
