I got these coins today (Jan 10th, 2008) and they are the same coin, same year, same grade, all graded by NGC (supposedly), but the holders are noticeably different.

Ok, these differences are FAR less subtle than in the NGC announcement the other day, and I wonder if NGC just changed the label, or if the counterfeiting is more widespread. I just received the coins today, but since they are coins for the same year and mintmark, color me paranoid, but it seems like they should have similar holders. Ok, I know, they could have been graded at different times, thus accounting for differences in labeling. But after the shocking news the other day, how do we know?

Ok, I tried to upload my file, it was too big -- I'm going to see what I can do to scan a smaller image, but it may be a little later before the images are attached. It also seems I may only be able to attach ONE side, since ZIP files aren't allowed here.

Maybe something for NGC to consider is posting examples of how their holders and labels have changed over the years so we know what they look like? A timeline for instance "NGC Slabs Over the Years" Just my opinion, I could be wrong.

Same coin, same year (sure, they could have been graded years apart). But one hologram label is small, one is large. One is reflective, one is dull. I am admittedly not an expert on NGC holders. The obverse has differences too.
