Holly cow! Juuuuuust a bit off centre I'd say...

No way I see any bands (Full or not!) anywhere on this coin! Does PCGS really make mistakes like it appears they have here?

But this auction does have Free Shipping!

Wow. I need to learn more about coins to make identifications like that one. Can someone lay out the argument here?

At least they didn't say it was as a 1916-D.

Edit to add - better yet, they nailed another one...

Well, I decided to be a photoshop scientist and actually see where the bands would be. They'd be right about here, in fact.

I had to look at that for a while before I could figure out what in the heck that was. Can't say I've ever seen an error as wacky as that before. I wonder how they were even able to assign a precise grade to something like that.
