Remember, buy the coin not the holder..

Which one? This will help us determine the wattage of the lightbulb.

Was looking at the OP's picture, initiallly trying to find out if it had been mis-graded, and not seeing anything that would make it undeserving of PF-69 and/or DCAM. Then I realized I missed the obvious; the label misidentified the coin as 1992 when it was in fact dated 1994. I guess I was making the assumption than a TPG wouldn't make such an obvious mistake so I was looking for something more subtle.

This does serve as proof that even the so-called "top tier" TPGs are not infallible.

 

I would think they are worth a premium, I am sure the TPG's do not like the publicity of such goofs...

 

I had this one for years before I noticed the mistake

 

dwhiz:

what is wrong?

Just a VERY small 1/2 $.

 

The ultra rare shrunken half dollar mule, must be worth millions

 

agreed!

worth millions, esp on eBay

 

I work in the pharma industry and we require double checks at critical control points to mitigate errors. Still, we make mistakes that cost us batches. I must say that we very, very rarely ship things to customers with an error. I can see how the coin gets past the production guy, and perhaps the internal quality double check, but how it gets past the final QC release is difficult for me to understand. It must happen after an office party when everyone is a little hungover.

 

That particular TPG, from my observations, significantly "mislabels/identifies" more often than others. I have a significant collection of relatively expensive classic Gold certified coins that are improperly graded/identified. I've virtually rolled out of my chair in laughter when I read a posting justifying their quality in grading with a statement that the coins are inspected by 3 highly paid professionals before leaving the facility. I then knew what may have happened to the "3 blind mice" who were discussed in a poem when I was a youth. LOL

 

Yeah, hangover or interns
