Why did PCGS slab this item?
Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

Very unusual, but cool!  Errers and Varietys.

Don't see bags of these gathering dust in a coin shop. Unique piece for a niche market. 'Big Deal' status is in the eyes of the individual collector--perhaps there's a bit of fun factor here...

If they're going to slab bits of the coin presses, why not slab everything and anything even remotely related to minting, no matter how tangential?  I might crack this one out and submit it to BUGS, as soon as I hear back from mrwiskers. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures
