[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 7959362, member: 66"]I would assume what happened was it was submitted as an 1822. The person who unpacked it entered it into the system as 1822. The graders just looked at the coin to grade it and maybe to make sure it was a genuine US coin (Not counterfeit) and didn't pay attention to the date. Quality control just confirmed the grade as well. It was submitted to Stacks Bowers for auction as an 1822 and they just cataloged it based on what the slab said. This happens sometimes. My favorite case of this was when Superior Galleries purchased a proof 1866 quarter over the counter. They bought it as a proof 1866 and inventoried it as such. They sent it to NGC for slabbing where it was slabbed as a proof 1866 quarter and sent back. Superior reinventoried it as such. Later they decided to catalog it for sale in one of their auctions. It was then that the cataloger realized that it didn't have IN GOD WE TRUST on the reverse. It was the unique 1866 no motto quarter that had been stolen in the 1967 DuPont robbery something like 30 years before. If they had been able to sell it it probably would have brought six figures. It had gone through half a dozen knowledgeable peoples hands and no one had noticed it.[/QUOTE]
