The label does not show "Silver" on it, and the coin looks like it's clad.
So the coin does match the label..
If it was mis-labeled by the seller as silver then you have a case to return it.

I think I'm confused (like usual ). This coin edge looks clad?

The 1st picture shows clad, yet the 2nd picture shows no clad...I too am confused.
OP can you tell us which edge photo we should be referring to?

Sorry...those pics uploaded backward. Yes the first one was the known clad.

This is the coin in question (Wilma).

I am aware the label doesn't say silver and the number says it is clad. That is what I am questioning. It does not appear to be clad and weighs more than a normal quarter.

Thank you and sorry for the confusion.

OK, well the edge in question is obviously silver/non clad. So TPG error I think.

So follow up question...has anyone had something like this happen? Does PCGS have a process for correcting these errors?

Thank you

Man - those are GREAT images of the edge, and through a PCGS holder too.

Yes, you can contact PCGS directly and get directions from them on what the procedure is. (it is something I have not gone through [yet])

As others mentioned, while uncommon you do occasionally see errors with PCGS/NGC labels. I've seen slabs labeled with the incorrect date, denomination, or (in the case of a couple commemoratives) the wrong coin altogether.

My understanding is if you contact PCGS they will provide a prepaid shipping label for you to send the coin back to have corrected. However, I've not done that myself so I'm not sure if that only applies to the original submitter. Just check with them to see...

Try is on for a labeling error. I own a 1880 $5.00 Liberty that PCGS says is an MS62. Problem is that the PCGS holder says it's a 1880 Morgan dollar.

I bought this few years ago as a small date as the label clearly states but when I received it the cent was a large date.
