Interesting but weird. The expansion macro works fine if the trigger string is something else, e.g.
prf
Private $c${1:VariableName} as Collection

then on the other hand if it is "prc" then I get a different expansion result from you. (It indents the line and leaves the cursor just before the P in Private). What is even stranger is that if I change the expansion string to something else for "prc" then I get a different result, for example
prc
Public $c${1:VariableName} as Collection
then in using the tab key everything from the "V" in VariableName is selected

But at the end-of-the-day, I'd suggest you use different trigger strings, I have tried 
vc
Private $c${1:VariableName} as Collection
vb
Private $b${1:VariableName} as Boolean
vi
Private $i${1:VariableName} as Integer
vx
Private $h${1:VariableName} as Object
vv
Private $v${1:VariableName} as Variant

and they all behave as you would expect.
