PCGS certification...

I understand that but look at the information supplied by PCGS under the certification number. It's all wrong.
CERT VERIFICATION #21384542

Yep, that was the reason for the OP...if JMBullion has a 1987-S proof Eagle in the # slab, then something is awry...my guess is that they graded them at the same time and got put in the wrong holder.

 

Yes, but the cert number on that coin, on the PCGS web site, corresponds to a 1972 type 1 Ike dollar, MS63. This is the JM coin.

 

Either way at $19 that are both over priced in my opinion

 

JMBullion are showing several different coins with the same cert #.
It's not just this one coin.

 

Is this the ultimate coin error ?

 

It's bullion; they all look alike in images.

 

Photoshop. PCGS did_not put those numbers there. For all their errors, I don't believe I've ever heard of a duplicate number in a PCGS slab, and JMB has a bunch of them.

 

Note to all: In the 1990's PCI used labels with the same grade and # for SE. All were graded MS-67 w/same serial #. Since an MS-66 in an original box would be extremely rare, all the Eagles should grade 67 or higher...saving time and the grader's eyes I guess

Perhaps that is the case here; but we need to find two genuine slabs w/the same label.

Another thing. Since labels can be printed out for each order (as many times as needed in case of changes or defective printing); two assembly guys may have duplicated the print job and slabbed several groups of "raw" coins with duplicate labels - something that would be missed 99.99% of the time at Quality Control.
