    But....but.......but..........these slabs were looked at by "The Finalizer!" before they ever made it to the shipping department!

    Oh wait. Maybe its the "Mechanic's" fault? Yeah! Lets blame the "Mechanic!" brick.gif

    Is that the same guy that said I had a fairy and a gnome in my gas tank causing my acceleration problems?

    This has made me think of something. You know the people that submit large quantities of silver eagles, etc to get MS-70 designations. What if the labels got reversed on those as well. For example one coin was a MS-69 the other a MS-70, but the labels got reversed. Nobody would really ever be able to tell. This should make you question all of the MS-70s you have (if any). :wideyed:

    Good point. I bet that's happened a hundred times.

    For a good many people that chase 70s, the rationale is that the coin doesn't get you registry points, but the label does, therefore it doesn't matter.

    Right the coin isn't important, the label is!

    Why, I had a Finalizer review this one:

    2008-D Van Buren Labeled as James Monroe 13205489 PCGS MS65 Slab Obv.jpg

    Didn't get reimbursed for the return shipping on this one either.

    Nor these:

    I wonder if it would be possible to build a registry set using just error slabs?

    What are those guys eating (drinking?) for lunch?

    @19Lyds .......should have kept my mouth shut about gnomes and fairies in the gas tank as it seems I do indeed have some. I jump in the van for the trip home this afternoon and low an behold, acceleration problems. Danged thing ran alright at lunch time when I went out. What the devil happened? Fairies and gnomes for sure. Limped back home (20 miles) and now the van's in the shop. Hope they can perform an exorcism.........

    Just sell them when you do to the fanatics in their forums, they probably won't notice anything.

    I sent them back to be corrected. They arrived today. Usually, in my experience, they expedite the "mechanical errors," meaning I usually get them back I'm about a week.

    Those labels make them look bad. They ought to give you something for your trouble, like free balloons.

    Filled with nitrous oxide, from the tank that the finalizers apparently keep on hand to help them get through the working day...
