Just acquired another several hundred fakes and counterfeits. Lots of the usual stuff but always some surprises. No clue where this one was made or why, maybe game money, but it's wild. Will be doing some primitive camping so might not be easy to reply for a bit but thought I'd fire this one out there before I disappear.
Appears to be copper-ish and weighs 3.22g.

Well it's frustrating, but here is the solution I use. Yes, PCGS gets my variety submissions wrong fairly regularly, usually the late die stage ones that are tough to verify if you aren't an expert on such things. Of course PCGS is supposed to actually have experts on such things.
First you will need to send the coin to an attributor, such as done through VarietyVista or Doubleddie.com. It costs a small fee, but they will return the coin with a letter stating the correct attribution. Next you resubmit the coin to PCGS with the letter attached. Generally they will then fix the problem, put the variety on the label, and charge no additional fee. Your milage may vary, but I do this regularly and it works for me.
But before you start the process, verify that you did pay the variety fee with the first submission, and double verify that the coin is the variety in question. |

| Hi Mike! That's really sad about Coin World, and seems they are struggling. A magazine is only as good as its content, and their content has now dropped a significant notch without your column. Given the number of folks with questions about error coins, I suspect opportunities will arise for you and your skills. Your contributions here alone have been incredibly useful, and we thank you! |
