This is from my latest GreatCollections package; part of the box was these 3 proof coins, all certified PF 67 by ANACS: 1961 dime, 1962 dime, and 1961 quarter. I noticed this one detail about these. They are consecutive serial numbers, but then I saw this: The 1962 is the one coin between the 2 1961's! Just to think, we could've had a consecutively numbered 1961 proof set, but the 1962 had to stick it's anal area in the way. I betcha anyone on the subreddit r/MildlyInfuriating have never seen something so hyper-specific as this one little detail.
In my one experience submitting to ANACS at a show, they sticker the submitted flips (or slabs) with pre-printed sequential cert# labels in the order they're listed on the submission form. I would guess a mailed submission is about the same. So I think you can blame whoever filled out the form. All my 1947 Canadian denominations came back in sequential slabs, because they were listed that way on the form. (I hesitate to ask, but why does it matter?)
"I declare war on r/MildlyInfuriating." That's a bit over the top. Don't let the small stuff bother you. This hobby can be fun if you look for it.
Not really much of a problem, basically I noticed how odd it was. I don't quite have an issue with it, but it would fit right into the subreddit for mildly infuriating stuff. It's good to know that at least they do return the coins in sequential slabs, kinda unsure how the other grading companies (besides NGC) do it but I hope it's around the same method. Mainly, the post is about one of the most hyper-specific things you could find about a set of slabbed coins, mostly for humor. I wouldn't let the small stuff like that bother me - but I'm relatively glad I didn't a hold of a full 1961 PF67 set with the '62 in the way. Mainly, this post is about one of the littlest things you could notice on a slabbed coin that could drive a Redditor up the wall. I plan to sell the 3 coins so cert number doesn't matter to me.
Don't go tilting at Windmills you don't want to have fall on your head Señor Quixote. Nobody has ever lost a bet on how low and stupid Reddit will go if offered a chance.
Sorry boomer. Reddit is the website for the digiratti. Quoting Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reddit) - I don't love using Wikipedia as a reference, but it's a decent summary...
It isn't odd, the submitter organized his coins by denomination first, not by date. And while most of my submissions are of a single denomination (Jefferson Nickels), in the event that I submit something else other than a Jefferson, it is always separate from the Jeffersons, and then each denomination is organized chronologically.
I love those sorts of booboos. I have the three cent nickel that the slab identifies as a three cent silver. It's a sixty dollar coin but according to NGC it is a $600.00 coin because it is misidentified.
Among pet peeves this would rank high in the peeviest. For fun, here's my properly sequential set of 1947 Maple Leafs.
If coins are graded appropriately, I could care less if they are sequential. I could pass on sequential for a strong grade!
Eh, in all honesty I don't mind the 1961s being 2 numbers apart. I wouldn't mind it even if it was a full set of 1961 in PR70. Seeing the occurrence was just crazy, and I figured I'd post it here to see what people thought. Not gonna lie, that's something I'd probably spend a whole day trying to attribute. Especially if I saw one like it that had been mislabeled. I do too. I once had a CAC mislabel, while minor it was an '1880' graded MS-62 DMPL, that was actually an 1880-S. Last week on GreatCollections, I saw one that would be a big oof anywhere else - a 1912-S nickel labeled by PCGS as a dime. Imagine if the submitter organized a 1950-64 proof set lot like this. That'd be cool if all of those coins stayed together since they'd be kinda intertwined. For some collectors, it'd cause a fit of rage, especially if they had the full 1961 set that was interrupted by one coin. For me, I plan to sell them, so it's no big deal. I wonder: did your Maple Leaf set once include a cent? That looks to be the only missing one.
My thoughts exactly. I know I posted this about the opposite matter, but if I really want the coin to keep, I wouldn't mind if it was a lot of 2 with cert numbers miles apart. Even if it's something like a maundy set.
It's not mislabeled...it's reversed. The side with the ID and grade should show the obverse of the coin; instead it has the reverse.
I may have purchased one a long time ago, not sure. I've never really been interested in the Canadian cents, just the nickels and silver. All except the half came from grandpa and I bought the half to fill the gap. I never actually paid attention to the certs being sequential until your post! Seems like that's something more for a currency collector. I think a submitter can request which side gets the label, so perhaps that's what happened.
