Just looking at my set, and now can't seem to find the information online. Has anyone ever heard about this error? If so, can you point me in the right direction? Thanks so much for your help.

They are all like that, so neither variety nor error. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Report this Post to the Staff

Jess1234 Valued Member Canada 333 Posts	Posted 04/07/2023 9:08 pm Hi again, I just found the website and link. They say it's a design error. So, I'm a bit confused. If it's a design error, wouldn't it be considered an error? And if so, is there no premium value? Here's the link: https://www.error-ref.com/conceptua...uratedesign/ Report this Post to the Staff

Just as the runner is anatomically incorrect the maple leaf is botanically incorrect. Is there a premium for all these billions of "error" pennies?
