Does PCGS Make Mistakes?

Remember it is not the graders that make the labels (although they make enough errors!). Any secretary can make a typo.

The font checks out OK which is something non-typical with a lot of Chinese fakes. The volume of coins the company goes through through in a day also makes it easy for a typo to slip through. When you watch the video of their process, you will find they check the slabs with the initial list to make sure the coin is what the list says. I can imagine at the end of the day any number of checkers could have something like this slip as it is a very repetitive task.

Especially nowadays where people do not know the difference between things like loose & lose or shinny and shiny (former teacher!). Not being mean...just factual. I have enough of my own faults I have to deal with daily.

@Brandmeister Thanks for the backup!

I imagine what's typed into their database automatically goes on the label. I'm surprised it's not a dropdown with only the allowed values - I'm assuming it's not misspelled in a dropdown list or we'd see it on every slab designated with that. A spelling error is pretty small beans.

There was that whole gradeflation thing where they deleted all their coin facts images presumably to remove the evidence... quite a few years ago.

If you're gonna pay $50-100 for a professional service, they should furnish a professional looking product. Having the coin right side up seems like a very basic expectation.

What I'm specifically questioning in my post is the possibility that a false dies designation would be attributed to a genuine coin by mistake, not about alterations, vise jobs or spelling mistakes. I would assume that they would have many procedures for designating a coin as fake vs genuine. I'm just wondering if its worth resending it.

I looked up that Imporpor slab and yes it is a genuine slab and yes the item description on their website has that weird spelling. Could it be an actual real word that is some sort of jargon?
I also collect error slabs. Once purchased a ram shilling that had the country as NZ on the slab in the dealers photo, blasted coin turned up reslabbed correctly as Australian and I only purchased it because it was a goof slab, but there was another goof in that it was also an error coin with a large lamination fault.
I also have multiple counterfeit coins in genuine slabs and dozens of coins with wrong mint or wrong variety attribution.
Then there is a gem coin that was graded as cleaned because it looked too good to be true, but several others from that same roll were graded top of the pops 67.
Or a sixpence that has a super high gem grade 67+on the slab that was graded and imaged showing a patch of green corrosion,
Then there are coins of which I have dozens of the same date where I can line them up from lowest to highest grades and can spot coins that are overgraded and others undergraded, and not by a half point or point but 2 points.
I've done submissions with 50+ coins and I presume others have as well and do they ever have multiples on their desk being graded or imaged and put the wrong coin back in the wrong coin flip or put the wrong coin with the wrong label as they encase them? Easy on a production line process when dealing with big batches.
