[QUOTE="19Lyds, post: 1386488, member: 15929"]Funnier things have happened in the past. However, PCGS has promised to contact Stacks-Bowers to address this specific offering. The coin is NOT in the PCGS Population Reports and its considered a "mechanical error". "Mechanical Error?" you ask. Yes, this stuff happens: [ATTACH]165121.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]165119.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]165120.vB[/ATTACH] I have no idea how the above happened but they just did. Not everybody that works for PCGS is a professional coin nut. The folks that print labels ceratinly do not have to know what a coin grades and the folks that put the slabs together don't either. It's just a job for them. I guess if I handled 150,000 coins a month, I'd probably screw up every now and again. (Even the US Mint screws up! ;) ) Hopefully, the coin will get pulled and hopefully [SIZE=2]this "mistake" won't create an environment of questionability behind the other high grade IKE's that actually deserve the grade. I don't think there is anything worse than a collector having to "justify" his/her collection.[/SIZE][/QUOTE]
