[QUOTE="Burton Strauss III, post: 24885533, member: 59677"][USER=9270]@kanga[/USER] I suspect that it was not a free "correction". GC probably ate the modest cost to maximize the value of the auction. From [URL]https://www.pcgs.com/guarantee[/URL] [B]What the PCGS Guarantee Does Not Cover[/B] The following is further explanation of what the PCGS Guarantee does not cover. Clerical or "mechanical" errors. PCGS occasionally makes clerical errors in inputting data which is shown on the insert in the PCGS holder; consequently, the PCGS Guarantee does not cover obvious clerical errors, what we call "mechanical errors." The key concept is how obvious the error is to the naked eye. If you can easily tell just by looking at the coin that the description on the holder is wrong, then the coin/holder combination is not covered by the PCGS Guarantee. Examples would include the following: [LIST] [*]A variety attribution that is obviously incorrect. For example, if you had a normal date 1942 Mercury dime, but the PCGS holder showed the coin as a much rarer 1942/1 overdate, this coin would not be covered by the PCGS Guarantee as the date is obviously normal. Another example would be if you had a 1945 Mercury dime with an obviously normal size mint mark, but the PCGS holder showed the coin as a "Micro S." This coin would not be covered by the PCGS Guarantee since the mint mark is obviously normal size. [/LIST][/QUOTE]
