is this significant?

    First off, I do not have much experience in coin collecting. I was searching for information for this, especially if it having the US mint label and the hologram included was significant. I was not able to find anything to help with answering my question. Any help in identifying this and how it came about with these unique labels is appreciated. gold frt.JPG goldrear.JPG

    It's not a US mint coin nor does NGC put US mint stickers on the back of their slabs like that. All of those stickers added to the slab not only don't add value but they actually detract from it since someone has to take the time to remove them all and the glue residue. None of those are the stickers you want to see as market accepted value adders.

    Someone hoping perhaps to make it more attractive to potential buyers.

    One of the sellers trying to make it look super flashy and trick someone but they actually weren't even that smart themselves.

    It is actually a nice coin just might need to be reholdered to get all the junk off the slab

    I use those slabs for coins/tokens I don't send in for grading. 1917-S HR Peace $ C-horz.jpg

    The label looked ragged to me, which made me think they used a slab like I use. Also the way they sealed the edge.

    Yea the whole edge thing was just weird. The label was a bit washed out from the lighting but was a legit one they used a few years ago. I have no idea why they went so overboard and in such a terrible manor as well that just makes no sense.

    @bigocard24
    What is really strange is that the coin in your picture looks like it moved a bit from its original position.. I wonder why?
    If you go to NGC Verify... You get the original simple view
    I want to share this image from the NGC webpage -
