The signed labels

NGC announced his hand-signed “Official Red Book” labels on June 12, 2017; he signs them in gold ink to match the Red Book cover.

How to check a signed label

Every signed label is printed with the coin's certification number. Look the number up at pcgs.com/cert or ngccoin.com/certlookup. The record should match the coin, the grade and the label type shown in the holder.
