    OOps. I think it may be worth more to a slab collector

    On a serious note, I’ve heard that there are some collectors that will pay big bucks for a coin that has been wrongly slabbed like this. Anyone know if this is the case?

    And I also have to wonder if there is a Barber dime someplace slabbed as a penny.

    Speaking of mechanical errors, @Savoyspecial once showed me a Norse medal and a Massachusetts Pine Tree shilling he'd sent off at the same time, and each ended up in the other's slabs, which was kind of amusing. But no doubt irritating, when one has to send them back, even though they'll fix it for free.

    I think they should fix it for free and give the submitter one free grading voucher to make up for time lost in the hassle. Maybe they do. I dunno. I kind of doubt that.

    Happily, I've never had that happen, but I've seen plenty.

    I’ve never heard of big bucks for those ever. Slight premiums for major errors yes particularly when two coins get the others info, but no big bucks premiums. A mechanical error sample slab would have more value than a normal slab

    Yes no major premium for a mechanical error. I currently have one that I thought would interest someone but there is little activity with it at about a $20-$30 premium over a normal slab.

    I agree, but PCGS screws the pooch so often that they would lose thousands and thousands of dollars if they did. Seriously, someone posts a mechanical error from them like once a week now it seems.
    Im sure the guy who prints the labels, knows nothing about coins and is at the bottom of the totem pole, but this is getting ridiculous! !
    The damn coin says 1 cent right on it !!:banghead:

    I wonder if those who buy the holder would pay a premium for a mislabeled one; especially if the coin is a different series.

    Well, I sold it for a monster $125 to a guy who messaged me that he collects mis-labeled coins. Glad he's happy.
