<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mark Kerner, post: 7974861, member: 113035&quot;]Regarding special labels...</p><p>Does it really matter whether or not a slabbed coin has a special label such as First Day of Issue or First Strike, or whether or not a slab has an autographed label?&nbsp; TPG&#039;s have so many different varieties for a given coin of a certain year and mint mark, say an American Eagle Silver dollar, that it makes my head spin.&nbsp; How many varieties of a single coin can one collect?&nbsp; To me, having a coin grade a PR70DCAM vs. PR6xDCAM is all that really matters, one would think.&nbsp; Why does a label make a coin special?&nbsp; It seems to me that anyone at a TPG service can add any label to any coin they want, and who would know better?&nbsp; To me, the grade, the strength of the strike, the luster/eye appeal is all that matters.&nbsp; I&#039;ve heard that other collectors want to own coins that have designers&#039; autographs and that those command more money, but I think it&#039;s all a ploy to bid coins up.&nbsp; Guess I don&#039;t trust folks that much.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
