[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 2309732, member: 112"]Where do you draw the line regarding any mechanical error ? And for those that don't know what a mechanical error is or how it is defined, it's pretty simple. It's a labeling error on the slab that is so egregious that it is obviously a mistake. These labeling errors are made by low level employees at the the TPGs who enter the data and print the labels which are then inserted into the slabs. This is a perfect example of a mechanical error - and yes I used to own this coin. I specifically bought it because of the labeling error. [ATTACH=full]465314[/ATTACH] These mechanical errors, I think labeling error is a more appropriate term myself, come in all shapes and sizes. They can encompass everything from coin type to date, mint mark, country of origin, denomination, and yes even grade. Basically anything that can be put on a slab label can be screwed up. They are nothing more than honest mistakes. And though I won't swear to it, I think the TPG guarantees state they do not cover mechanical errors. So I will repeat my question - where do you draw the line regarding any mechanical error ?[/QUOTE]
