[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 2948687, member: 10461"]I agree that would be nice, if difficult to implement in any consistent fashion. The information on the labels is often too sparse. PCGS in particular likes to abbreviate, even when they don't have to and there is room for enough characters to spell something out all the way on the label. I don't mean to suggest that the grading services should add a [I]paragraph[/I], or even as much as [USER=77704]@panzerman[/USER] is suggesting, and I see why they would need to keep things short and concise, but at least cover the basics (like spelling out the denomination). I will say that NGC Ancients does a pretty good job of fitting a lot of info on their labels. [SIZE=3](Let's not start a contentious discussion of how [I]accurate[/I] that information is or isn't- I'm just referring to the use of label space, here.)
