[QUOTE="alcochaser, post: 329118, member: 11241"]Just want to rant a bit..... Personally, TPGS offering rewards for mint errors [B]-should be made illegal-[/B] $10,000 is a TON of cash to tempt mint employees to intentionally make a lot of these slip ups, such as this. [URL="http://coins.about.com/b/2007/11/18/sacagawea-dollar-with-edge-lettering-found.htm"]http://coins.about.com/b/2007/11/18/...ring-found.htm[/URL] COME ON FOLKS, Lakewood CO is a Denver CO. suburb. Yeah I expect the occasional slip up. But for heaven sakes, the number of Presidential Dollars without edge lettering is too much to explain off on simple mistakes. Mint personnel can not be -that- inept. Sure you can try and ferret out the problems, but it's much easier to remove the temptation. Offering such premiums for mint errors just encourages this. It's definitely on shaky moral ground. And it just makes me abhor TPGs that much more. Bounty for Mint errors is definitely something that should be outlawed. Everyone may like the mint errors to collect, but personally. THEY ARE a black eye and an Embarrassment to the nation. Nuff for now. <engage satire>I think I may go burn some plastic slabs on the steps of PCGS in protest<end satire>[/QUOTE]
