Paul Bulgerin Pillar of the Community United States 3098 Posts	Posted 01/13/2018 3:31 pm I came across this one on ebay, an MS-63 1883 "No Cents" Liberty nickel in a PCGS holder that calls it "With Cents". The seller does properly attribute it. Makes me feel better about my own quality control. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1883-5C-No...122891131754 Paul Bulgerin Report this Post to the Staff

kanga Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 01/13/2018 4:20 pm If that's the worst error PCGS makes I'll have no problems with them. With probably several thousand coins being slabbed each day an occasional goof can be expected. Now, grading errors, that's another story. It's somewhat subjective so opinions will differ.

moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 01/13/2018 6:48 pm Look at 1000 PCGS coins and you might find one error, perhaps. You'd probably need to look at more than 1000 to catch NGC. Although it does happen. That's still a rate of accuracy I can certainly appreciate. Report this Post to the Staff

As I heard it put once, the Saturn V moon rocket had a million moving parts, so at that rate on any given flight one thousand parts would fail. Report this Post to the Staff
