Certification is on the PCGS site. PCGS most likely encapsulated the wrong coin or forgot to add the mint mark to the slab......It happens and there are people out there who collect slab errors.

@DoctorBurnzy, thank you for that info. Now I understand, maybe that's why this coin in the link below have a bidder even with the mislabeled error. I thought it could be a new collector that doesn't now much about varieties and error. Here is the link: https://www.greatcollections.com/Co...CGS-MS-65-RDgigi2110

When I say there are people out there who buy error slabs, I assume those collectors are looking to buy good coins that are misattributed in the wrong slab and not just any coin in a misattributed slab. If someone wants to collect any coin in a misattributed slab....well then...to each their own and collect what one likes then.

DoctorBurnzy, Sorry if I misunderstood what you said. I don't have much knowledge about slab coins or mislabeled mistakes, I wasn't aware of existence of that before, but is good to know now. thanks for the information.
@Alpha2814 thats what I thought too.

PCGS is known to make mistakes like this quite often these days.

Didn't someone on CCF once propose a company that encapsulates and meta-grades TPG slabs? This could be a mint state PCGS error slab! |

Once again, this is a situation where the old adage (buy the coin, not the slab) comes into play, just like the 70S large date that was posted recently by Marve. If you don't know what you are buying, then a possible expensive lesson, I've been there.... One must do their homework.

If there isn't a mistake in the decimal placement in the price, then it could be quite some time.

Funny how we jump on errors like this. Yes, the PCGS person and especially 'quality control' after slabbing should have caught this. must have been a late Friday slabbing...
