Nice, It is a shame they misspelled Newfoundland.

 

I wonder if that's an actual slab error or just their attempt to abbreviate it so it fits

 

They left out two letters so they could put in the $2.
Bad form! NL is the abbreviated form.

 

With NGC its an abbreviation, PGGS has more room and spell full name. One of my pet peeves with slabbers is that they do not leave enough room on label for full data. ANACS does a better job of proper data. If these companies would use a smaller font, then they could have more room for complete description of coin.

 

Can you post a cropped photo of the obverse so we can see the error?

 

Or at least NFLD.

 

Id prefer that honestly

 

I use NFLD when making note and marking flips. But NL is what is used for postal codes.
