<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jaceravone, post: 638648, member: 9474&quot;]People find these these minuscule minting errors or varieties and convince the TPGs, especially PCGS, to attribute and slab them.&nbsp; Now in order to have a &quot;complete&quot; set, you must have that one coin.&nbsp; So now you have thousands of people looking for a coin where there may only be a few hundred or less found and identified.&nbsp; Because of this, demand is created and it pushes the prices up, all because a TPG said that you had to have this coin to have a complete set.&nbsp; It is crazy...but I am one of those fools.&nbsp; :desk: </p><p><br /></p><p>Here is what I have been told by the PCGS reps at the Central States Show....if it is in Cherrypickers, they will slab it as such.&nbsp; I have also heard that once CONECA identifies an error or variety, PCGS will slab it as such as well but I think that is not always the case.&nbsp; And you are right Richie, it is not really an impressive error, but it is in Cherrypickers.&nbsp; They call it the Speared Eagle, but I have always heard it referred to as the Wounded Eagle.&nbsp; Both names would be correct.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
