The brown label is the way to go. I don’t think they will ever go out of style. The complete brown set of mint state & proof Silver Eagles is what most collectors, will have or trying to put to together now, or in the future. But the black retro holder won’t hurt the 25th Ann Silver Eagle set at all.

Jokes aside…
On the positive side, Grader’s do provide a valuable service. Too many collectors in the past paid too much for a grade based on a judgment by the seller.

On the neg side, The proliferation of labels does risk damaging the hobby by confusing the collecting public. The illusion (of course) is by increasing the value of a coin based on the label it has in a holder. When this house of cards collapses (in the future) it will be seen as a bad chapter in collecting history.

I think i’ll send in a 25th Ann set, & a San Fran Silver Eagle set, and get the limited – edition NGC retro black core holder, at no extra cost. It will really optimize the contrast of the Silver Eagles. Thanks RonnieBGood. jim can’t send in labeled coins for reevaluation to get the limited edition NGC black holder. Despite the fact that you do not have not one. NGC black core holder graded 70 $$$.

hehe

PCGS, NGC or those other grading services, are over rated. send them to me (bSCS) bills Shiny Coin Service. Give me $20 and I’ll entomb your coin in a 1/4 inch of high quality plastic. then i will give you a grade of shiny ‘S’ (lowest) to omg i can see myself in the coin shiny, ‘OMGICSMITCS’ (highest). then, you have a list of background templates you can choose from, or customize your own.

I think I might send all my NGC labeled coins in for a reevaluation so I can get the special black holder! (Now, if I only had one…)

Don’t get me started on the 2012 “S”.

In Labeling news:
NGC is pleased to announce the upcoming release of a stunning, limited-edition NGC Retro Holder. Reminiscent of the original NGC holder used in 1987, the NGC Retro Holder features a sleek, black core that optimizes the contrast of silver and gold coins. Paid members of the NGC Collectors Society may submit coins for grading and encapsulation in this special holder from October 1 to December 31, 2012 — but only while supplies last. Quantities are limited for each coin type…

Coins eligible for the NGC Retro Holder:
•Silver Eagles
•Presidential Dollars
•Sacagawea Dollars

Happy Collecting / Investing!

Looks like their will be only 301,302 or a little more than that, for the 2012 S Proof Silver American Eagle. It will be the 2nd lowest Silver Proof American Eagle ever minted. We all know the 95 W Proof is 1st.
