Did PCGS get this right !!

I sent this in a few years back, just looking it over and i don't think PCGS got this right. What do you think...rubs and scratches are on the case..

Could be a misprint, like my 1959 Washington...

 

Here's mine but I think it's to late to send back

 

What exactly were you hoping for? The coin is unquestionably proof. It is impossible to grade proof coins from images because the mirrored surfaces can hide hairlines, but PF67 is about average. So it looks like an average 1959 proof quarter to me. I don't see any reason to question PCGS's judgment based on an in hand inspection.

Edited: Oh, I see the mechanical error on the denomination now. Sorry, I am accustomed to looking at the coin and not the holder.

 

Wow I thought my eyes were bad. Those are nice coins though and everyone says buy the coin not the holder right?

 

That's was my point, I've had this graded 3 or more years ago and never noticed the err on the label till today..

 

That sounds like something I would do.

 

I think if it is a simple label error, they will correct it at anytime. NGC will do the same. Have you checked their coin ID number to see what they recorded it as? The general office staff types up the labels, off the grader's completed submission report, and human error does come into play.

 

I think the error gives it some character. Since it's not an expensive coin, I'd just keep it the way it is.

 

I think labeling errors occur because of pure volume of coins graded.
As I understand it the graders look at 800+ coins per day in a normal shift.

Now think of X number of graders funneling their coins to the slabber through the finalizing authority.
That's got to be several thousand coins per day.
And I suspect that person is only mildly responsible for the info the graders included.
His/Her eyes probably go wonky after first thousand and the wrong keys are sometimes hit.

Does that sound likely?

 

These are a bit cool to me. I would leave it the way it is. There are folks that collect error slabs.

 

I'm wondering if it actually starts on the front end: TPG opens package, reads submission form, fills out internal form and checks the wrong denomination box.

Either way, it will continue to happen because people make mistakes. IMO, it's not such a big issue. Now, getting the coin series wrong, that seems a bit more egregious to me.

 

I'm going to keep it like it is. i had a 1994 silver Kennedy half w/ 1992 coin inside the holder, sold it to a member here and was able to buy 2 silver Kennedy half's for my collection.

 

I'd buy that holder!

 

Per my wife:

To err is Frank

To forgive Ilene.

 

That's where it happens. They enter the information from the submission form into the computer (And he information COULD also be wrong on the submission form) and the computer generates a barcode label that has has the information in it and that barcode is stuck to the flip. At the encapsulation stage the barcode is scanned and the computer prints the label for the slab. The grader just scans the code and enters the grade. I don't believe the grader can see what the barcode says the date/mint/denomination is. He grades and that is pretty much all he does.
