Hmmm. It looks correct to me . . . as long as the "UNC" stands for "it cried 'uncle' and then we graded it."

a great candidate to show as an example that grading companies, even PCGS mess up. typically they can know the difference between a G coin and an UNC coin but I guess not

Current bid is at 43.00. Wonder if people are bidding on the label (implying they like that it says UNC)
