Yes, but this is a bit different, they obviously had a MS68RD before, as it sold in a Teletrade sale, I wish Teletrade had kept their image archives alive when they moved over to Stack's/Bowers, it would help to see the slab and have the cert # on it. I can see this going the other way more than showing a coin sold at auction that never existed however, I suppose it could just be a typo too. If a MS68RD does really exist, whoever bought it for $26.00 back in April 2003 did pretty well considering the most recent sale of a MS67RD was $2767.00 in October 2013.
I was only looking at 1959-P Lincoln cents as I found a couple of original rolls I had stashed away and thinking I might have some high grade ones in them, I should see what they sell for in MS67RD or better.
Back when a good friend of mine worked for them, he told me a story of a particular gold coin with a really low mintage like 25 or so, and that coin had a population at PCGS of almost twice the mintage, in fact the coin came through every few months raw, he said obviously cracked out in hopes of an upgrade, the graders all knew the coin from the several small ticks it had, and no it never upgraded according to him, at least not while he was a grader there. This was pretty early on in PCGS history, when they still accepted labels for crack outs and paid ($4 or $5 each I think) for any returned labels from their slabs.
A MS67RD 1959P LMC is a coin where a single point can really make you a lot of money! in MS66RD $32.00 in MS67RD $3600 according to the PCGS Price Guide.
