NGC put the wrong mint mark on the labels

 

They are nothing more than mechanical errors. Big deal!

Seems like sheer silliness to me over a very simple mistake. The ultimate example of people putting a ridiculous emphasis on the packaging as opposed to the contents. Have we really come to a place where the slab itself has become the numismatic focal point?

I do wonder what the two offers were....

 

I would think the two offers could not have been more than 300. that's about the ngc listed value for the two coins

 

wow, and why would people buy a mistake coin holder? that's what bugs me.

 

There is no question but that slabs have become integrated with their occupant coins, in many minds, as constituting the collectible objects. So, given the (inexplicable, to me) wild popularity of mint errors, it's not that much of a leap to collecting TPG errors, is it?

The asking price seems a bit high.

 

Kind of for the same reason people buy error coins. It is a mistake, an "error" by the TPG. I personally don't really see the thrill in collecting "error slabs", but some people obviously do.

 

Save 'em up for the big class action lawsuit

 

the price is stupid... I did like how they posted a video in the description though... I wish more sellers would do this...

 

I would pay less for those than if they were slabbed correctly. But who knows maybe there's a lot of label collectors out there.

 

That's not all that's dirty

 

The coin is cool. The slab...who cares.
If any of you want, I have a sheet of mailing labels that I can print off whatever description you want and put your coin in a plastic holder for you. All for the low low price of $99,999.99 plus S&H.

 

I HAVE AN NGC ERROR LABEL - It's a dime and it states it's a $1 DOLLAR - Maybe I can get $50,000 for it

 

And encapsualting a error coin, to boot - what are the chances of that? I believe it would merit not doubling your estimate, but squaring it....

 

I don't. He wasted three and a half minutes, said nothing more than he could have said in a few lines of text, the pictures of the coins were not as good as they would have been if he had just imbedded images in the description. It wastes bandwidth, and it takes long enough now to go through eBay without having to watch a 3+ minute video on each lot instead of reading a simple description. Not to mention if you don't have a highspeed internet connection loading of the page and watching the video can take forever. (Today was a good day I I was able to stream it, but on a bad day it could have taken six to ten minutes for me to see that video, and on my dial up connection it would have taken a half hour or longer.)

 

under the right circumstances a video could be very helpful. But, with a dial-up connection it's gonna be painful these days no matter what you do on the internet.

 

Does that even still exist?

I thought the dial up connection was gone
