Greetings one and all.
For those that don't know me, I specialize in modern coins. Mostly Lincoln cents and, more recently, errors.
I've cherry-picked a few varieties over the years and some were slabbed. I'm not one that enjoys sending more money to the grading companies but was getting frustrated at putting my chicken scratching on tape on the slabs. I plain got tired of seeing my sloppy handwriting on a piece of tape or sticker. Plus, the glue residue remains if the sticker needs to be removed.
Others may have hit on this idea before but I haven't seen it posted anywhere. It's an inexpensive, clean way to add the variety number to the slab that
isn't permanent (in case there is a need to remove for any reason).
So I decided to use clear labels to add a variety designation to some slabs. It takes some playing around and experimenting with placement but looks good with the clear label, and with a little more effort, it can look even better.
Here's an example. (Notice the left side of the strip. I've turned the label on itself to make it easier to remove if need be.)
I'm always looking at maximizing savings to put into more coins, but keeping things organized and neat (with my collection anyway
)
Do any of you have ideas that might work as well or better?
Please share them if you do for others to consider.
Thanks in advance.
