I sent this in for grading - PCGS Genuine Cleaned UNC Detail. No variety attribution on the label.
Did you request the variety attribution? I believe with PCGS you must request it, they will not note it otherwise. Or maybe they only note it on non-details slabs?

I didn't request the attribution because it is not listed as one PCGS recognizes. Turns out I saved a little money given the grade

PCGS mainly attributes Cherrypicker Guide varieties for Mercury dimes. They also limit to a specific edition (4th? 5th?). Although the coin has three varieties, I don't think any of the three are CPG listed. PCGS doesn't generally give a generic Minor (Variety Type) on the label unless it is a really strong non-CPG example.

Hopefully someone very familiar with PCGS attributions can explain in more detail. Maybe HumblePie or somebody else that makes PCGS variety submissions?

Was typing and looking at listings when you posted that. So you weren't expressing surprise that it didn't get the variety attribution, you were stating a fact.

Added: the PCGS link for the full size photos.
