<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Insider, post: 2745579, member: 24314&quot;][USER=66]@Conder101[/USER] says it all.&nbsp; The only thing I&#039;ll add is this:</p><p><br /></p><p>The green &quot;banknote&quot; labels were used from the beginning. Sometime after 1990 or 1991, graders approached Revels with the idea to start slabbing problem coins using a red label.&nbsp; At that time all the TPGS&#039;s were body-bagging coins with serious problems and PCI thought all collectors who paid for a service should get a slab with a grade!&nbsp; Unfortunately, many PCI problem coins were cracked out and straight graded by the other TPGS with <b>looser grading standards </b>regarding scratches, cleaning, corrosion, and rim problems. Soon after the red labels proved to be popular PCI added blue borders to the foreign coin labels.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
