Tdh7 New Member United States 10 Posts	Posted 03/09/2017 4:44 pm Recently got this MS68 1982 LG date Lincoln and it has a very slight misaligned die error on the obverse. Not to excessive would this add to the value at all? Or is it not far enough misaligned that NGC didn't label it that way? I know they are common just curious...

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 03/09/2017 5:06 pm Pic is kinda poor,are you sure that's a MS68 by NGC? It is not off enough to be a MAD. Also,I think you have to ask the TPG's for a variety attribution and pay extra. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
Mark1959 Pillar of the Community 7234 Posts	Posted 03/09/2017 5:42 pm I'm sure it will be considered as a MAD as a raw coin in hand but not major enough for a TPG to classify it as such on their holder. Edited by Mark1959 03/09/2017 6:32 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 03/09/2017 5:43 pm It's barely misaligned and that does not add to the value of the coin at all. Like John1 posted, you have to request and pay extra for variety and error labels. I don't think this coin would have gotten MAD on the label. The ones that are worth some extra premium are missing some of the devices. Report this Post to the Staff

Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 03/09/2017 6:51 pm Is this an example of the grade wars betwixt NGC & PCGS? Find it hard to believe a business strike at 68... Report this Post to the Staff

Tdh7 New Member United States 10 Posts	Posted 03/10/2017 1:47 pm The picture doesn't do it justice, it's a solid 68. There's lint and other things going on with the holder. Wasn't trying to show its grade. Edited by Tdh7 03/10/2017 1:49 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Mark1959 Pillar of the Community 7234 Posts	Posted 03/10/2017 5:50 pm I was surprised to see so many 1982 PCGS/NGC MS68 Zincolns on ebay - I guess they are common but really, to pay that much for a commom date slab? Now there's a "Buy the coin, NOT the holder" statement. Report this Post to the Staff
