I bought a batch of PF69 statehood quarters from Heritage Auctions. Three of the coins say "Ohio" on the label, but only one of them is actually an Ohio quarter. The other two are Tennessee and Louisiana coins, but the label says "Ohio". The serial number are different on the three coins. Should I contact ANACS and ask them to reslab the coins? Would they do it for free since they made a mistake?
Keep them. There are markets for slabs regardless of the coin. And ultimately, what's more valuable than a mistake. oddity or original in the coin world?
They are possibly worth more a error slabs than as regular ones, but if you want them correctd ANACS will most likely correct them for free. However you will still have to pay for shipping and insurance both ways.
Thanks for your replies. The coins themselves aren't that valuable, but I guess it would be kind of neat to have "error slabs". I called ANACS and they offered to reslab them for free and reimburse me for my shipping cost. Haven't decided to send them in or not.
IMO, I would leave them as they are, being low value coins they are probably "worth" more in a error slab than in a correct one.
I'd keep them as they are. There are a number of people who collect slabs. I would imagine that a nice error slab would be worth a lot more than a typical slabbed statehood quarter would ever bring. Enjoy them. Can you post a few pics for those of us who would want to save them?
