Just curious when I don't see any design elements missing at all? Looks to me like a centered broadstrike what am I missing?

Look at this on ebay:

Most def looks broadstruck out of the collar,otherwise the rims wouldn't have flared up on the sides like that.

I am of the opinion that all broadstrikes are out of collar strikes, and for the coin on ebay, it is not a off center..

I only used NGC for one submission a number of years back, then argued over the phone with them after receiving my coins back without the variety listed (even though I paid the $7.00 Variety Fee)..

Lucky for me, J.T. Stanton was still employed at PCI for his Signature Series Slabs, and after speaking with him on the phone, submitted 2 NGC Slabs to him.

The end result was my NGC MS65 Quarter was only valued at $35.00 with out the listed variety, and is now valued at $500.00 in the PCI MS65 Signature Series with variety listed..

Simple they messed up. It is clearly a centered broadstrike.

You notice in the description they just parrot what the slab says and don't correct the TPG's error. I wonder if they even realize it is wrong.

I sent them the following message, we'll see if I get a response or if they correct the listing.

That is correct.

I almost did that I'm glad you messaged him-keep us posted conder-funny thing is I'd have to look at it again but I think this same seller may have had more than one broadstruck coin Mis labeled as off center when I was looking last night(yes in NGC slabs)

NGC didn't have the year and mint on the label either! Strange?

Three days, not a peep out of the seller and the listing hasn't been changed. He either doesn't care that the listing is wrong or he doesn't know enough about errors to know whether I was telling him the truth or not.

Frankly I think a centered broadstrike is "cooler" than a common off-center.

That really makes no sense. He has mega feedback and sells coins. He is also a "top rated" seller (which is not easy to get these days). I would think he would at least write back to ask for more information about it.

Is their any chance that it would be a counterfeit, since there is no date on the packaging like Mac mentioned?

This coin is indeed real and in a real NGC slab, as I checked the certification number and it's this exact same coin! They messed up big time on this one! We have ourselves a winner!

I hope this guy realizes that this coin is misgraded and gets this coin regraded by NGC, otherwise it will sell as something completely wrong!
