    One of the neatest sample slabs that I have ever seen, this is a 1980-S proof Roosevelt dime, labeled as 1880-S!
    (One can only wish).

    Perhaps it is worth a small fortune on ebay as an error slab!

    Is that a legitimate slab from NGC?

    Yeah, it is. Sweet slab Treashunt. :thumb: I have a PCGS sample slab (a rattler slab) but I think yours is cooler. :D

    Besides the error, what is what makes it so special?

    hamman88 Spare some change, sir?

    The guy who owns sampleslabs.com would probably pay a bloody fortune for that!

    I doubt he'd pay a fortune for it, but he might pay a couple of dollars. I already emailed him about this thread.

    Cameron is the guy behind sampleslab.com.
    I have a lot of respect for Cameron.
    It was really great watching this young man over the years.
    He knows his stuff.

    Edit to add. I agree with Greg on this.

    If I had something so cool, no way would I sell it. Where you going to get another one?

    Thanks for sharing !!

    Very interesting! You would think that during sample slabs process, there would have been a lot less examples to go through and yet that bizarre error.

    Absolutely nothing!
    It is supposed to be an example of the quality of their work!

    I have a number of sample slabs, but grabbed this one at a show last month.
    Just as an error sample slab it seemed pretty neat.

    Treas,

    If that is the case, then they just fell into the same rating tier as SGS!:rolling::rolling::eek:

    Nice, I can see the adds now:
    "SGS, we can screw up as much as NGC!
    So use us, at least we know that we suck!"

    LOL

    Well, when it's supposed to demonstrate the quality of their work I can see how collectable it is now. BTW, have the lowball offers started coming in yet??? ;)

    Take Care

    Hi, i also have a number of sample slabs. From different grading companies also if i remember right! Mostly Michigan state quarter sample slabs, their an interesting niche i think.

    No offers yet, but I am sure that you'd go for 9 cents.

    and AUBU2:
    (for some reason I can't get this thing to do double quotes).
    Yes they can be fun and interesting.
    At the ANA in Milwaukee I got a PCGS sample Bison slab.
    (I can hear the groans from Ben all the way in NY).

    I wonder if NGC would buy it back from you since it's a mistake?
