At least the slab notes that it is a " Copper Platted T-2 Plan" Now I'm going to be up all night roll searching for a "Platted" Lincoln Cent. LOL (And are there other years when they were "Platted"? So many questions come to mind.  )

Good catch Petes, I missed that.
I wonder what the standard for grading these are because normal design wear detection isn't possible.
What is "Top Pop" for these?
Interestingly it has several bids already so maybe the novelty aspect will pay off for this seller.

How did PCGS decide which side is the obverse?

By the way, I looked up the cert and it checks out. By the way, how much does it cost for a Gold Shield certification and Trueview?

Missed this important part... but yes not worth grading originally obviously. Selling everything to pay for medical bills. everything is authentic and genuine Sometimes people know what is listed is not worth money but possibly helping out the lister so long as its not regular/scam. I know this also because I've seen a few other cases like the below (this is not the same one as bobby posted btw) in which sold for something like $77 actually contrary to its poor value, but then saw the description mentioned something about selling a late husbands coin collection. https://www.ebay.com/itm/233172506088

Over 1,000 listings and still selling her husband's collection?

I have a "maited" pair slabbed by PCGS. The spelling error is on both labels. Probably not really a value-added thing, but error slabs are at least a little bit collectible.
