<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 3312544, member: 19463"]Is this Oea a case of the submitter dictating what they wanted on the label? I would have thought it was a case where two coins were swapped when put in the plastic but the obv/rev descriptions are right. Very interesting. Obviously the demand for slabs has exceeded the abilities of minimal staff but finding staff willing and capable of doing that work can't be easy. We never did hear if they hired anyone after that post saying they were looking last year. Perhaps we should expect more errors. </p><p><br /></p><p>Another question: If slabbed ancients become more common will the hobby develop young 'experts' suitable for doing the work that places the coins in correctly labeled slabs? The gentlemen that do that work now got that skill level by handling many thousands of coins in many thousands of types. Will hands that never touch coins be prepared to replace them when they retire? I'll never know.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
