I just got my 1937-D 3 legged Buffalo nickel back from ANACS and they put it in the slab with the reverse side showing through the front side of the slab. (The side that has the grade and the year/mm/denomination.)

Is that normal? Do they do that because the 3 legged bison is the most important feature on the coin? I would swear that the last 3-legger I sent to them came back with the Indian on that side...

Very weerd, steev. Don't know how to respond. Sounds like a mistake to me. Then again, those morons change things so much, maybe it is intentional. - coincrazed

I have heard this before and seen this as well before. I think it might be normal since it is the variety that is significant.

yes if its the reverse that makes the coin special they will put the reverse in the front of the slab. They used to only do it when they were asked but I guess everyone seemed to want theirs with the side that had the special variety showing on the side with the grade label so now they just do it by default

That's what I understand how they do it unless you request otherwise.

they put the reverse on the front if the reverse contains the significance of the coin, like the 3-legged. These areespecially common with the State Quarters. The silver State Quarter I have NGC graded has the reverse on the front.
