I saw this SLQ last night while searching for a Type II SLQ for my slabbed 7070 collection. At first, it looked nice (not so crazy about the toning), but it's OBVIOUSLY a Type I, not a Type 2 as identified on the slab insert. Yes, even the "experts" make mistakes.  |

Send that one back in for the type 1 designation.

Yep - even PCGS makes mistakes. That's just one of many I've seen. Did that one sell for Type 1 or Type 2 pricing?

I see allot of mistakes on 1878 Morgans like this also. It seems NGC is more prominent than PCGS at doing it but I have seen 8TF varieties marked as being 1878 7TF from both services

Guess thos folks that work at PCGS are just normal, everyone makes a mistake once in a while.
I would have thought there quality control would catch this before the coin was sent out.

Over the years, I've seen many obvious errors such as this displayed in dealer's cases at shows. One of my favorites was a 1909-S Indian cent in a 1909-S Lincoln Cent holder, ala PCGS. It's slabbing errors such as these that cause me to wonder ... Do PCGS or NGC ever make a numerical mistake, say between MS-64 and MS-65, MS-66 and MS-67? This is purely a rhetorical question on my part! |

Definitely a mechanical error it is obviously a type 1, the head isn't the only thing that is full.

But on a more serious note more in tune with the OP, the only slabbed coin collection I'd consider is collecting PCGS, NGS and ANACS slabs with mistakes on their labels.
Puts a whole new spin on the phrase "error collector" :-)
