    This is another example of why TPGs should improve or get out of the attribution business.

    This is a S-78 plain edge Cent which is labeled by PCGS as a lettered edge. If true, it would be the first I am aware of. But the seller indicates it is a plain edge, so his observation is more trustworthy than the TPG.

    This is a warning to those who buy the slab and not the coin. An exception is noted for the ones who actually buy the slab FOR THE SLAB.

    Ehhhh, I don't know that it is, but it is quite possible that it is nothing more than a labeling error, and not an attribution error.

    When they can do this -

    - anything is possible.

    I have to agree, not sure how a professional grading company can get a label wrong, I assume the coin and grading note are passed to the person at the label machine and the label is printed. And if the grader is the one who printed the label, then he obviously thought the coin had a lettered edge which would indicate, he never looked.
